Sanger; Clyde (1928-2022); journalistSeries of correspondence relating to Nora Beloff. The majority of the correspondence (15 files) covers the period where Beloff worked for The Observer as Paris or Washington correspondent. This correspondence is written by Beloff herself and is mostly to her family who she refers to as 'Darlings' or more specifically to her parents. The first file of correspondence, 1941-1945, provides an insight into the start of her career as a journalist at Reuters in Paris. Letters from 1946-1947 cover a period when Beloff was working mostly freelance and indicate the unpredictable nature of journalists' contracts. From the end of 1947 the correspondence covers Beloff's work as Paris correspondent for The Observer but includes a period as Washington correspondent in 1949-1951. The files from 1959 and 1961 cover a more unstable period for Beloff in terms of location but she always remained a correspondent for The Observer and in 1961 spent a relatively brief time as their Washington correspondent again. These files of correspondence, as they are written to her family, provide not only an interesting insight into the nature of her relationships with her family but also an account of her feelings about her work, life style and acquaintances. Following these are two files of correspondence, which together cover 1953-1995, and are a mixture of correspondence written by and to Beloff. The character of the letters is more professional than the personal nature of the correspondence to her family. As such the letters give an impression of the style in which she worked and how she developed her contacts. The letters provide details of the later period of Beloff's life and the work she did including conferences, seminars, research and writing. The final file of correspondence is written by members of Beloff's family, mostly her brothers and sisters, to her parents. They provide a further perspective on relations between Beloff family members and there are several references to 'Nora' throughout.
Beloff; Nora (1919-1997); political reporterCorrespondence from Nora Beloff to her family. There is only one letter from 1941 which was written by Beloff to her mother from Washington where she appears to have been working for The Observer. The letters from 1944 run from September to December from Paris. It appears from the letters that Beloff began working at the British Embassy in Paris in December. In her earlier letters of 1944 from Paris she does refer to Reuters and it is possible she may have done some work for them before December 1944. The letters from December describe her arrival back in Paris for work at the British Embassy. Details are provided about work, living conditions and her social life. The letters from 1945 span across the year and provide a further insight to Beloff's life in Paris working for the British Embassy. Accounts of her social life and acquaintances provide details about the atmosphere in Paris at that time. From September of 1945 her letters express a desire to move into journalism and to work for Reuters. Her father seems to have expressed certain reservations about this move. By December of 1945 it is clear from the letters that Beloff had by then left the British Embassy and begun working as a journalist for Reuters but remained in Paris. The letters from December provide a detailed descriptions of her work and style of living as a journalist. At the end of this file are some letters without dates and also some letters which are incomplete.
Beloff; Nora (1919-1997); political reporterCorrespondence from Nora Beloff to her family. The letters span across the whole of 1946 beginning on 5 January and ending of 28 December. As well as containing references to family business the letters continue from those of 1945 to describe life as a journalist for Reuters in Paris. Topics discussed include pay, interviews, French politics, political figures and various political crises occurring in Paris at that time. Other subjects covered by Beloff include Paris fashion shows. Often included in the letters is a description of her daily routine at work. Apparent from the letters are long hours and the hectic nature of the work, particularly frantic are Beloff's description of working alone on Sundays. Often the letters include reassuring comments to her family that she is not exhausting herself. The letters also describe Beloff's busy social life in Paris and the crossover between social and work circles. She also refers to the use she makes as a journalist of the contacts she had from working at the British Embassy. From Beloff's letters of September 1945 it seems that by this point she has taken on work for the Manchester Guardian as well as her work for Reuters. Discussed in these letters are the possibility of full time employment at the Guardian in London as assistant diplomatic correspondent. It seems from the comments made in her letters that whilst she enjoys living in Paris she has some reservations about continuing to work for Reuters. In October as well as working for Reuters Beloff describes taking on the position of the Guardian's French correspondent for a month during the permanent correspondent's, Darsie Gillie's, holiday. A letter from 4 November describes Beloff's last day at Reuters and new employment possibilities including freelance work for the Guardian, the Glasgow Herald and the 'weeklies'. Also mentioned in the letters from November is the possibility of a contract to write a book about Paris which Beloff accepts at the end of the same month. During November and December Beloff continues to do some work for the Guardian, often working as Darsie Gillie's replacement when he is absent. She discusses her hopes that the Guardian will take her on permanently.
Included within the letters are what appear to be typescripts of articles, however, it is unclear whether these were published or were simply used as part of Beloff's correspondence with her family. Included at the end of the file are letters from 1946 but without a specific date.
Correspondence from Nora Beloff to her family covering January to December of 1947. The letters from the year as a whole provide an account of life as a freelance journalist. They describe Beloff's early career and attempts she makes to establish herself in a permanent position with a national newspaper. Amongst the January letters are interesting insights into the circumstances surrounding Beloff's departure from the Reuters Paris office in November of 1946. At the time of her departure and following it she appears to have had a disagreement with her former boss at Reuters, Harold King, resulting in him banning her from entering the Reuters office. From other comments in her letters it does appear clear that relations with other members of Reuters staff remained good. The letters from January also discuss Beloff's future work plans. She plans how she will go about writing the book about Paris she is due to complete by October 1947. Also discussed are opportunities for freelance journalistic work in Paris including the Manchester Guardian, the Universal Encyclopaedia and the Economist. The work situation seems similar in her February letters from Paris, Beloff discusses how she will research her book and her preparations to return to England. There is a break in her letters from Paris at this point until April and it can be assumed that this period was spent doing background research for her book as Beloff's earlier letters suggest was her intention. During May it seems that Beloff is again working on a freelance basis for the Manchester Guardian and often acting as replacement for Darsie Gillie, the Guardian's French Correspondent. Her letters from May and June also refer to work for the Economist. By July Beloff's letters describe her freelance work not only for the Guardian and the Economist but also for The Observer. She describes the hard work and long hours this type of work requires as well as the difficulties in negotiating with three different employers. Beloff's letters from August continue to describe this hectic freelance work and she does discuss the possibility of being taken on as permanent staff for The Observer. Beloff's letters from the end of September and early October indicate that an agreement was reached at that point with The Observer to take her on as Paris correspondent beginning in November 1947. It seems that as a part of this contract she would no longer be able to write for the Guardian but could continue to write for the Economist. The letters from November and December provide descriptions of Beloff's start at The Observer and the style of working required for a weekly newspaper. Her continued work for the Economist is also described.
Beloff; Nora (1919-1997); political reporterCorrespondence from Nora Beloff to her family covering January to November of 1948. The letters provide an account of Beloff's life as French correspondent for the Observer and her continued work for the Economist. In her letters she describes the working conditions of a Paris correspondent and in particular the practicalities of using the offices of the French newspaper 'Le Monde' as her base. Her letters from February include a detailed account of a working visit to Brussels. A letter from August makes a reference to writing a book about France for Hutchinson publishers. In Beloff's letters from November she discusses how her contract with The Observer will develop and the decision that she should take on the position of Washington correspondent. At the end of this file are some letters without dates and a letter which is incomplete.
