The files I want to add to Wikimedia Commons are in my possession through inheritance and are in two categories: 1. jpg: 3 photographs, none of which indicate a copyright exists. Two of them, "Bartholomew and Cronkite and "Interview with Eleanore Rossevelt" were presumably taken by the TV station KKTV, Colorado Springs, CO and radio station WENR, Chicago, IL for publicity purposes. One of them, "John Bryson Bartholomew, 1945" was commissioned by the U.S. government for WW2 publicity purposes. 2. .pdf: these 12 files are all copies of newspaper articles which are considered to be in the public domain, copies of several "Personally Yours" newspaper columns written by John Bartholomew, copies of WW2 correspondent radio broadcasts in my possession, and personal letters addressed to either John B. Bartholomew, my father, or his wife. Based on Wikipedia's description, none of these files are copyrighted and thus I release all of them to the public domain.
