As could be expected,\n most of these letters contain plans for furnishing their new\n home, family news, and personal messages, all of which\n chronicles the growth of the \n Duke family .","The alphabetical miscellaneous correspondence file has\n letters from college, fraternity and Masonic friends, business\n associates, and other acquaintances and includes merchandise\n orders, requests for speaking engagements, business matters,\n literary concerns, letters of sympathy and personal news.","Letters of note in this group include the following\n correspondents and topics: \n S. A. Duke (Dec. 9, 1908) re\n reconstruction and \"the great negro question;\" \n A. Ranken Ford (Nov.23, 1914) re America's\n Civil War, \n England 's preparation for World War I and\n Germany 's spying activities prior to the\n war; \n George Gilmer (Jul. 28, 1918) re the\n important role of the \n Y.M.C.A. in keeping up the morale of the\n American soldier in \n Europe ; \n T. H. Harrison (Apr. 21 and Jun. 25, 1916)\n re Canadian involvement in World War I; \n H. C.

Duke, Jr. , \n Susan Harker Risdon and miscellaneous\n letters from friends and family, excluding her children.","A third subseries of correspondence consists of letters\n from \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. and \n Edith Duke to their children, Mr. and Mrs.\n R. T. W. Duke, Sr. and miscellaneous\n correspondents. Of note in this group is a volume of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. 's letters from \n Europe which contains transcripts of his\n letters home during his European tour of 1882. Duke describes\n his voyage over on a ship \"Egypt,\" his companions and\n acquaintances, his itinerary in \n England , \n Holland , \n Germany , \n Switzerland , and \n France , and the many museums, historic\n sites, and towns which he visited.","The fourth subseries contains letters to and from the\n children of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , including\n correspondence with their parents and with each other. The\n sons of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , Walker, Jack, and\n Eskridge, were all in the armed forces during World War I, and\n their letters that decribe camp life and their war experiences\n are in the correspondence to their parents, 1917-1919.","Jack \n (John Flavel) Duke was an Air Service\n officer stationed at \n Post Field, Sill, Oklahoma , and at \n Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas , and his\n correspondence, 1917-1919, and no date, describes his flying\n experiences. Although \n Eskridge Duke attended the \n U.S. Naval Academy preparatory school at \n Annapolis, Maryland and sailed as a\n midshipman on the U.S.S. Illinois from 1911-1913, he served\n during World War I in \n France as an army officer with the \n American Expeditionary Forces , from\n September of 1918 until May of 1919."," R. T. Walker Duke 's letters to his\n parents from 1908-1911 describe his experiences in \n Montana as a cowboy, his interest in\n homesteading, bronco riding, and his work as a printer. In\n 1917, Walker was assigned to the \n 5th Illinois Company , \n Ft. Sheridan, Illinois . His letters\n written during his service in \n Europe run from October 1918 to March\n 1919. After the conclusion of the war, Walker served with the \n Judge Advocate General Department in \n Washington, D.C. (letters to his parents,\n 1920-1925)."," Mary Duke 's letters to her parents,\n 1918-1926, and no date, describe her nursing experiences and\n other charitable work in the \n Archdeaconry of Southwest Virginia with\n Mrs. \n Hugh F. Binns at \n Nora, Dickinson County, Virginia .","Another interesting group of letters in this subseries are\n those of \n William Eskridge Duke, Jr. to his family\n and to his aunts, \n Mary Duke and \n Helen Duke . \n Bill Duke served in the navy during the\n Korean War and his letters describe the places which he\n visited on his tours of duty, such as \n Naples , \n Athens , \n Marseilles , \n Guam , and \n Yokosuka, Japan , 1949-1951.","The correspondence of the Duke brothers and sisters to each\n other consists almost entirely of carbons or originals of\n letters concerning the personal business transactions of the\n family. It also reveals the financial difficulties of various\n family members during the Depression years.","The \n Slaughter family correspondence comprises\n the fifth subseries of correspondence and contains letters to\n and from members of \n Edith Slaughter Duke 's family, including\n her parents, \n Mary Harker and \n John Flavel Slaughter, Sr. , and her\n brothers and sisters. The letters from Dr. \n Blanche Rosalie Slaughter Morton , a\n graduate of the \n Women's Medical College of\n Pennsylvania (1897) and practicing surgeon, form one\n of the most interesting sections of this correspondence. She\n describes her travels in \n Europe (May 11, September 19, and 24,\n 1899); her concern for the \n Lee family in \n China during the struggle of the\n Kuomintang with the warlords for political supremacy (March\n 29, 1927); her trip to \n Mexico (July 25, 1928) and the \n Middle East (November 4, 1935).","Most of the Slaughter correspondence concerns either\n business matters or family news with a few exceptions. \n Charles Slaughter, Sr. writes concerning a\n strike and riot in \n Duluth, Minnesota (July 7, 1889); \n Charles M. Harker, Sr. describes the\n meeting of the American Convention ( \n Know-Nothing Party ) in \n Philadelphia (June 10, 1855); Mary B[?]\n R[?]'s letters, 1861-1862, provide a woman's view of the Civil\n War; and \n Samuel Slaughter describes his trip to \n Ireland , \n Scotland , and \n England (July 24, August 1 \u0026 5, 1889).\n Members of the \n Garland family write concerning family news,\n Dr. \n [Erasmus] Darwin 's theory of the earth,\n and the significance of fossils, and General Hull's activities\n at \n Sandwich in \n Canada during the beginning of the War of\n 1812 (August 4, 1812); and a trip to \n Boston and \n Montreal (August 1 \u0026 11, 1851).","Of note among the miscellaneous correspondence are two\n letters from \n John Singleton Mosby , one to \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. (September 27, 1915)\n acknowledging Duke's letter of sympathy on the loss of Mosby's\n son, and another to Captain \n Sam Chapman (September 30, 1919)\n concerning the manifesto of the \"Stonewall Jackson Camp\" at \n Staunton about the role of Southern\n soldiers in the Civil War.","Also of interest are the letters, 1895-1954, from \n Mary Lee and \n Claude Lee , an Episcopal medical\n missionary family in \n Wisuh, China . They ran a hospital and\n dispensary from 1908 until ca. 1947. Although their letters\n reveal various aspects of missionary life and personal family\n news, they contain little of Chinese events. One letter by \n Claude Lee (October 13, 1918) speaks of\n the participation of the \n 8th Czecho-Slovak Regiment in a battle\n against the Bolsheviks in the \n Ural Mountains near \n [Tagelove ?], Russia , during World War\n I.","The last subseries of correspondence consists of topical\n files concerning the American Legion and World War I; business\n correspondence of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. ; the publication of\n the poetry of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. ; the rental of the\n Duke's Park Street house; the will of \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. ; and the \n St. Paul's Memorial Building Fund .","The other six non-correspondence series comprise about a\n third of the collection and include: manuscripts and\n miscellaneous papers, photographs, bound volumes and\n notebooks, postcards, papers from the \n Duke and Duke law firm and oversize\n items.","The manuscripts and miscellaneous papers series contain the\n personal business papers of the \n Duke and related families, especially the \n Slaughter family . There is also a sizeable\n amount of family financial material in the Papers of the \n Duke and Duke Law Firm at the \n University of Virginia Law Library .","Other types of material in this series include;\n genealogical material, with a typescript about \n Mary Harker Slaughter by her son, \n William A. Slaughter ; invitations; legal\n papers, including indentures, deeds, agreements, land surveys,\n etc.; manuscripts by \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , both poetry and\n prose, including \"Albemarle County and the City of\n Charlottesville in War Time,\" \"Libraries and Their Contents,\"\n \"Pearls and Pebbles,\" typescripts of portions of his\n \"Recollections,\" (the whole five volumes of Duke's\n \"Recollections\" of his life can be found in 9521-i); printed\n material, including Masonic items and an undated political\n pamphlet entitled \"Mahoneism Unveiled!\"; and Duke family\n school records and papers.","The photographic series consists of both identified and\n unidentified photographs. Identified photographs contain the\n following categories: Judge \n R. T. W. Duke, Jr. , \n R. T. W. Duke, Sr. , men and women in the \n Duke and related families, \n Rosalie Slaughter Morton , miscellaneous\n men and women, European scenes, places, photographs of a trip,\n University of Virginia , and \n Zeta Psi Brothers and \n University of Virginia friends.\n Unidentified photographs have been placed in the following\n groups: animals, children, groups and families, men, places,\n and women.","Series four, consisting of bound volumes and notebooks,\n contains primarily diaries and notebooks of the immediate \n Duke family members. The fifth series has \n United States , foreign, and topical\n postcards. The \n United States postcards are separated\n first by state and then by city or county; the foreign by\n country only, and the topicals are grouped together.","The papers of the \n Duke and Duke law firm contain incomplete\n case files handled by the family law firm. Among these are \n Maria Carter v. \n Roy Brown ; \n J. E. Costan v. \n Downing L. Smith ; Dr. Funsten v. \n W. Ed. Pickering ; \n Insurance Company of Charlottesville v. \n V. W. F.
