1938rif. 0001626HICKORY NORTH CAROLINA NC. Good. 1938. On offer is a super original manuscript archive of three 3 handwritten diaries by Eugenia Vasseur Ivey later Bivens b. April 29th 1919 d. January 20 2011 who worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigations FBI beginning in 1942 for 35 years. Her sister Virginia also worked with the FBI. The books are all 5-year diaries dated 1938-1943 nearly full 1944-1948 2/3rds full and the last only for 1949 and about half full. Prior to her work at the FBI she attended college and taught and she may have also been a hotel clerk. While each year is not full this archive shines on a number of levels given that she writes during the war years travels a fair bit dates a lot and sometimes interesting things happen to her like meeting Norman Rockwell and getting his autograph. As a home front diary she notes blackouts air raids gas rationing and much more relating to life during the war. What may be of particular interest to historians and collectors of FBI material was the fact that she was a super diarist detailing her duties her contacts her bosses and matters from the mundane to bank robberies. We learn she quit the FBI over a transfer dispute but they came back to her months later asking her to come back which she did. We also note that she met her husband Winfred Lee 'Wint' Bivens at the FBI. She went from and average typist to a respected clerical employee and her test results and other works were highly commended it seems. Here are snippets of the early years: 1942 "March 11th Mother went to her club. I get supper. Heard that Elbert is worse so I call off my bridge club I was to have Thursday night. Elbert has Hodgkin's disease no cure. Went to his stomach.

We interviewed by FBI man and he offered us jobs in office in Washington. I also saw Bell Tel. man offered me job at $70 per month but that is too low. Va. wants to go to Washington. I don't. But we have to have physical exams and they have to investigate. September 23rd Cut out red plaid skirt and black jacket. Neighbors came in and sat and talked. Then 2 page telegram from John Edgar Hoover telling us of our appointment as clerk in the FBI dept. and to report for duty September 28th. Va. and I both wired we accepted. Went up town in afternoon.

It said I was an average new employee and I was discontent and I am. He said he was not pleased with report and fussed at me terrible. I couldn't say a thing as I was so hurt. Went to rest room and cried .December 18th Heard today that Roy Rainhart is out at Ft. Belvoir Virginia and getting well from war and on way to Ireland. Will go out to see him Sunday. Gasoline was frozen today at noon and we only have tank ½ full. Only T. cards good. Eastern fuel shortage critical so was forced to do this. What will daddy do now for business " 1943 "January 1st Slept late. Rainy. Went to work no holiday for us. Touhy gang was caught by FBI in Chicago. Heard from Earl. Went to show before work. Jack Benny in George Washington Slept Here. Good April 7th All our office was called in today into Mr. Scott's office for efficiency report. Mine was excellent.

Va. and I went at lunch time to buy a bond and N. Rockwell autographed one of the pictures. He is very homely looking." For months she tells the FBI she wants to transfer to Charlotte or she will resign and finally on October 14 she does resign. After that she is out of work for several months waiting impatiently for the FBI to call for another job in the Charlotte area. Finally in 1944 she gets re-hired and spends the next 35 years with the FBI. There is also so much is happening in 1944 concerning the war and on August 6th she writes this entry about the Atomic Bomb: "August 6th 1944 Today we heard that U.S. used new and mighty bomb Atomic Bomb on the Jap Island of Hiroshima. So powerful it leaves nothing alive which it touches. 2000 times more powerful then B-29 bomb. Levels steel and everything. Wipes out whole cities. Terrible." Besides trips to places like Quebec in 1949 the most extensive seems to be in 1947 when she and her sister take a month and a half trip to the West Coast : "October 18th Thought I would go home after work today but decided not to and decided to go to office party at agent's house they rent out on river. Mr. and Mrs. Cole took me. About 50 or more there mostly married couples. We drank and danced. Had a fine time. I had a time with key and Mr. Cole had to come help me open door at 2 A.M." "December 6th Nice day. Helen is so excited about her trip. She leaves in morning at 4:27 A.M. We had office party out at two agent's house out near river. Nicest place!
