Autor na podstawie odnalezionej korespondencji Wincentego Lutosławskiego ze Stefanem Mierzwą, dyrektorem wykonawczym Fundacji Kościuszkowskiej w Nowym Jorku, obejmującej lata 1926–1930, omawia nieznane fakty z życia wileńskiego filozofa. Lutosławski jawi się w niej jako wielki wielbiciel Teatru Reduta Juliusza Osterwy. Przy okazji wyjawia swoje ambicje ponownego przyjazdu do Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki na przełomie lat 20. i 30. XX wieku pod auspicjami fundacji. Z lektury listów wynika, że Lutosławski, skupiony na promowaniu własnej osoby i dorobku, wypowiadał się krytycznie nawet o tych uczonych, którzy, jak Roman Dyboski, byli mu przychylni. Korespondencja potwierdza tym samym nie najlepszą opinię, jaką cieszył się filozof w świecie polskiej nauki.

Author found and gave to print unknown letters of Vilnius philosopher and scholar, Wincenty Lutosławski to Stefan Mierzwa, executive director of the Kosciuszko Foundation – the source kept in the Archives of the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York City. The letters reveal unknown facts from the life of Vilnius philosopher. Lutosławski appears to be a great admirer of Juliusz Osterwa and his The Reduta (Redoubt) Theatre, as well as a good advocate of his students. In the same time despite of being in late 60. Lutosławski had great plans and ambitions to arrive to the U.S. under auspices of the KF. What is more, the correspondence shows that Lutosławski, focused on promoting his own person and achievements, was not far of underestimating the authority even those scholars, who like Roman Dyboski, were generally favorable to him. The correspondence confirms therefore not the best opinion enjoyed by Polish philosopher in the world of science.

The Kosciuszko Foundation in New York has several chapters in the main cities in the United States of America as well as in Warsaw. It was founded in 1925 by Steven Mizwa (professor of economics at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa) with the cooperation of American intellectuals and businessmen (some of Polish origins), and from the very beginning it was thought as the American Center of Polish Culture – to build the cultural bridges between the U.S. and Poland. It is mainly famous for its educational and exchange programmes, addressed not only to the students but also to the scholars. What is more, every single year the KF organises the piano competitions, annual balls, various concerts, lectures and many other events. The main building holds the pictures of Polish masters such as: Jan Matejko, Wojciech Kossak, Jacek Malczewski. Unfortunately, only a few persons know about the existing of the Kosciuszko Foundation Archives. The main aim of this paper is to give the general view on the KF records. The archives’ inventory has never been published or accessible on line, and it is not so easy to get through. That is why the collection is rather unknown. Nevertheless, worth visiting to expore her precious materials. It hides such treasures as lett ers from prominent politicians (Jan Kucharzewski, Aleksander Skrzyński, Tytus Filipowicz), various eminent Polish scholars such as: Henryk Arctowski, Roman Dyboski, Ludwik Ehrlich, Stanisław Kot, Adam Krzyżanowski, Wacław Lednicki, Julian Makarewicz, Eugeniusz Romer and many professors of American universities (Columbia, Harvard, Notre-Dame, Berkeley). What is more, the collection can be used to do the research on Polonia organizations, students exchange programmes (since 1925 onwards) and lots of examples of cooperation between Poland and the U.S. before and after World War 2. The list of most important people whose papers are the part of the Kosciuszko Foundation Archives is given as Appendix.
