State Department - Indonesia, Sweden, England, 1949/1951 Box 13, Folder 7

In 1949, Tuthill is appointed U.S. advisor at the U.N. Commission for Indonesia, but returns stateside and brought "back into the Berlin aspects of the German situation." He's unsure of his future position due to the reorganization of the department. Includes a copy of the words and music for "A Foreign Service Song." Correspondence includes memos on the war between Netherlands and Indonesia and the Soviet role in the matter and the State Department's position on Yugoslavia. During 1949, Tuthill was appointed Counselor for Economic Affairs in Sweden and stationed at the American Embassy in Stockholm. His 1949 and 1950 letters and memos concern Sweden and the Korean War. In 1951, he writes about leave time due him. He is turned down from his application to the Marine Corps due to his physical, but has a new State Department appointment as "Special Assistant (MDAP) to the London Ambassador." Most 1951 letters are between friends and fellow state department employees. These letters intermix personal topics with state department concerns. Other personal items, such as a change to his life insurance, are included.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
