42.The summary in this and the next two paragraphs, unless otherwise docu-
mented, is based on the files of the NCRSRM, I-5, boxes 1–3. Included but
too numerous to cite individually are the communications between the com-
mittee and its European counterparts and all of the committee’s correspon-
dence. Especially important for this section were the files entitled “Financial
and Executive Committee Reports,” “Reports: Financial, Fact-finding, Or-
phans, etc.,” and “Jacob Henry Schiff.” The activities of the NCRSRM were
also reported weekly in AH, 10 Nov. 1905–5 Jan. 1906.
