Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book General Lee's College.","The materials from Washington and Lee University Special Collections are made available for use in research, teaching, and private study, pursuant to U.S. Copyright law.

Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E.

She was the wife of Lexington Presbyterian minister, Rev. William Spotswood White (1800-1873), minister of the Lexington Presbyterian Church from 1848-1867. They had seven children who lived to adulthood: James Jones \"Old Zeus\" White (faculty member at Washington and Lee University), Rev. George William White, Eliza Westmore White Wade, Rev. Henry Martyn White, Harriet Newell White McCrum, Captain Hugh Augustus White (who died at Manassas), and Thomas Spotswood White. Jane and William also had a son, John Spotswood White, who died in infancy. She was a devout Christian as evidenced by her writings. Jane died on October 3, 1878.","This collection contains a scrapbook, diary, and correspondence belonging to Jane Isabella Watt White.","The scrapbook was started in 1855 and primarily contains newspaper clippings, including obituaries for relatives such as her parents (George and Margaret Watt), Jane Watt, Sarah Maria Massie (sister), and Harriet McCrum (daughter) as well as other individuals including Clement P. McKennie. Other clippings are published poems, prayers, and religious meditations. Of particular note are several handwritten items. One is a handwritten poem written \"To the Memory of my Sister Eliza\" (Eliza Westmore). Another is \"For a little girl's sampler\" copied by hand by Jane. The last item is labeled \"Extracts from 'Aunt's Scrapbook'\" (Mrs. D. J. Jones) written out by someone with the initials E. J. G. of Williamsburg, Va. Three letters are also tipped into the scrapbook. The first letter is dated April 6, 1841 and was written to White by James Jones of Mountain Hall in Nottoway County, Virginia. Jones was a physician and statesman who goes into detail about the \"febrile attacks\" (seizures) his wife (Catherine) recently experienced and describes at length her condition. He wrote, \"I believe I have the best medical aid our part of the Country affords on which I look for Divine Blessing with some comfort.\" The second letter is dated May 12, 1848 and written to Rev. William and Jane White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall who describes the last days of her husband, James Jones, before his passing in April. She thanks Rev. White for remembering her husband during his sermon. She ends the letter by giving information about her husband's early life. The final letter is dated August 26, 1848 and written to Rev. William White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall. It acknowledges his move from Charlottesville for a new job [as minister of Lexington Presbyterian Church]. She wrote, \"I fear that the mountains will be a barrier\" between his family and her. She mentions James (her son) and describes him as a \"link (among others) in the chain of my comforts that has been broken off.\"","The collection also includes a few letters. One was written in March 1848 by Jane to her father, George Watt, with a letter written by William White to him on the back of Jane's. Jane shares that her oldest son (James) has accepted Christ into this life a year after his brother George. She goes into detail describing the kind of person James is. William also shares his excitement over seeing his sons sitting at the \"table of the Lord.\" Another letter was written to Jane by her son, Hugh, while he was studying at the Union Theological Seminary in April 1861. The letter outlines his thoughts about the war founded in his religious beliefs. He informs his mother that he is mustering in the Hampden-Sydney company although he hasn't joined it, saying he prefers to join a company at Washington College. There are two letters written by Jane to her son Tommie. One was written at the start of his military service during the Civil War. The first letter acknowledges that he is her youngest child and she says, \"O! how it rends my heart to give you up, especially as you are not a Christian.\" The second letter was written after the death of his brother Hugh in 1862. Both letters are undated. Both letters plead with him to come to Christ. The last letter in the collection was written by Margaret Junkin Preston to Jane on September 1862 offering her condolences on the loss of son Hugh.","Jane's diary spans from 1855-1875 though is not comprehensive. As evidenced by her writing, she was a devout Christian. The subjects of her diary include religion, her children, their spouses, her grandchildren, the Civil War (including her thoughts about the North, her sons, Liberty Hall Volunteers), illness (such as typhoid fever, scarlet fever,  diptheria), and death (family and friends). Of particular note is her inclusion of the death of an enslaved boy named John Daniel in her diary. She mentions his death in her July 29, 1856 entry writing, \"The death of a little servant boy saddened us much. His illness was long, and severe, but his death was comforting.\" Jane wrote out the conversation she had with John Daniel as he was on his death bed, which was rooted in religion. She documented that he suffered from fever, a violent pain in his head, and partial paralysis. He was eleven years old.","The materials from Washington and Lee University Special Collections are made available for use in research, teaching, and private study, pursuant to U.S. Copyright law.

The last item is labeled \"Extracts from 'Aunt's Scrapbook'\" (Mrs. D. J. Jones) written out by someone with the initials E. J. G. of Williamsburg, Va. Three letters are also tipped into the scrapbook. The first letter is dated April 6, 1841 and was written to White by James Jones of Mountain Hall in Nottoway County, Virginia. Jones was a physician and statesman who goes into detail about the \"febrile attacks\" (seizures) his wife (Catherine) recently experienced and describes at length her condition. He wrote, \"I believe I have the best medical aid our part of the Country affords on which I look for Divine Blessing with some comfort.\" The second letter is dated May 12, 1848 and written to Rev. William and Jane White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall who describes the last days of her husband, James Jones, before his passing in April. She thanks Rev. White for remembering her husband during his sermon. She ends the letter by giving information about her husband's early life. The final letter is dated August 26, 1848 and written to Rev. William White by Catherine Jones of Mountain Hall. It acknowledges his move from Charlottesville for a new job [as minister of Lexington Presbyterian Church]. She wrote, \"I fear that the mountains will be a barrier\" between his family and her.

One was written in March 1848 by Jane to her father, George Watt, with a letter written by William White to him on the back of Jane's. Jane shares that her oldest son (James) has accepted Christ into this life a year after his brother George. She goes into detail describing the kind of person James is. William also shares his excitement over seeing his sons sitting at the \"table of the Lord.\" Another letter was written to Jane by her son, Hugh, while he was studying at the Union Theological Seminary in April 1861. The letter outlines his thoughts about the war founded in his religious beliefs. He informs his mother that he is mustering in the Hampden-Sydney company although he hasn't joined it, saying he prefers to join a company at Washington College. There are two letters written by Jane to her son Tommie. One was written at the start of his military service during the Civil War. The first letter acknowledges that he is her youngest child and she says, \"O! how it rends my heart to give you up, especially as you are not a Christian.\" The second letter was written after the death of his brother Hugh in 1862. Both letters are undated. Both letters plead with him to come to Christ. The last letter in the collection was written by Margaret Junkin Preston to Jane on September 1862 offering her condolences on the loss of son Hugh.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJane's diary spans from 1855-1875 though is not comprehensive.
