J. Minor\n         from Fred A. Broomall of the 6th U. S. Engineers stationed in\n         France and Germany. While in France, May 1918 - November 1918,\n         Broomall mentions being with the British Expeditionary Forces\n         but attached to the Australian Imperial Force and later with\n         the American troops, the official status of the unit at the\n         University of Virginia, Thomas Smedley Butler of the Marines,\n         the war developing into one of movement instead of one of\n         position, and harvest season in France with crops worked\n         mostly by French soldiers and peasant women. Broomall also\n         discusses fighting with the infantry, the regiment's capture\n         of prisoners and important ground, the armistice being signed,\n         going forward again but with no shells or machine guns,\n         expecting to be part of the Army of Occupation, and the\n         feelings of the allies. During February 1920, Broomall is\n         assigned to Ochtendung, German with the Army of Occupation,\n         where he writes concerning activities in the Claire Chesnes in\n         the Argonne Meuse region, action near Malancourt (Esnes), and\n         his progress in the war since December 20, 1917. The\n         activities of the U. S. Engineers include erecting barracks at\n         Haute Sa\u0026#56442;\u0026#56684; building steel bridges,\n         destroying the big Engineer dump at Chaulnes, building bridges\n         over the Somne Canal, joining the 3rd Division or the Marne\n         Division, bridging the Vesle River at Tismes, taking over the\n         road from Montzeville to Malancourt, relieving the 79th\n         Division, crossing into Luxemburg, and reaching the area near\n         Coblenz.

In May 1919,\n         Broomall is still in Germany on detached service and writes\n         that they took over some road work from the 318th Engineers,\n         6th Division. He comments on returning soldiers to the United\n         States and the parades of welcome and the 6th U. S. Engineers\n         wishing to take their colors up Pennsylvania Avenue as a D. C.\n         regiment. He also describes the scenery of mountains,\n         vineyards, gardens and potato fields, and the daily life of\n         German children.","Among the letters, 1940-1946, to Anne C. J. (Minor) and\n         Walter O. Klingman are several from her brother, C. Venable\n         Minor. A November 8, 1940 letter and its attachments concerns\n         a legal matter involving an African-American, Robert Ellis, in\n         the employ of the Klingmans in New York. On January 21, 1943,\n         Minor writes a verbose and witty letter concerning his trip to\n         Washington, D. C. to procure a position in the service and the\n         obstacles encountered. He describes at length his contact with\n         various officers in different branches of the service and\n         other officials, including \n         Ed[ward][R.] Stettinius\n         (1900- 1949), [T.

On May 3, 1943, Minor discusses the Aircraft Warning\n         Services, Mrs. Dulaney, 'Radar' in the Marine Corps, his\n         difficulty in being commissioned into service, and his\n         position with the archaic office known as Examiner of Records.\n         A June 24, 1943 letter from Minor expresses concern for their\n         ailing mother, [Natalie Embra (Venable) Minor] and requests\n         that all of her children and grandchildren attend her birthday\n         celebration on July the 15th; discusses further obstacles with\n         being commissioned into service; and, mentions servants Annie,\n         Blondie, and Isaiah. A letter, December 1, 1944, from Dr.\n         Charles Scott Venable, San Antonio, Texas, to Walter O.\n         Klingman, requests that he give serious consideration to\n         moving to San Antonio following his release from service in\n         order to assist the only neuropsychiatrist at the medical\n         center. A July 28, 1945 letter from Charles E. Thompson\n         concerns swords sent from Belgium and France. On September 12,\n         1945, Minor writes a brotherly letter expressing his affection\n         following an apparent misunderstanding in which he also\n         mentions the death of Murray [Mason] McGuire (1872-1845) and\n         news of his wife Clara [Winston Cabell] McGuire, and news of\n         the release of \"Staige\" and Walter [Klingman] from the Army.

J. Minor\n         from Fred A. Broomall of the 6th U. S. Engineers stationed in\n         France and Germany. While in France, May 1918 - November 1918,\n         Broomall mentions being with the British Expeditionary Forces\n         but attached to the Australian Imperial Force and later with\n         the American troops, the official status of the unit at the\n         University of Virginia, Thomas Smedley Butler of the Marines,\n         the war developing into one of movement instead of one of\n         position, and harvest season in France with crops worked\n         mostly by French soldiers and peasant women. Broomall also\n         discusses fighting with the infantry, the regiment's capture\n         of prisoners and important ground, the armistice being signed,\n         going forward again but with no shells or machine guns,\n         expecting to be part of the Army of Occupation, and the\n         feelings of the allies. During February 1920, Broomall is\n         assigned to Ochtendung, German with the Army of Occupation,\n         where he writes concerning activities in the Claire Chesnes in\n         the Argonne Meuse region, action near Malancourt (Esnes), and\n         his progress in the war since December 20, 1917.

He comments on returning soldiers to the United\n         States and the parades of welcome and the 6th U. S. Engineers\n         wishing to take their colors up Pennsylvania Avenue as a D. C.\n         regiment. He also describes the scenery of mountains,\n         vineyards, gardens and potato fields, and the daily life of\n         German children.","Among the letters, 1940-1946, to Anne C. J. (Minor) and\n         Walter O. Klingman are several from her brother, C. Venable\n         Minor. A November 8, 1940 letter and its attachments concerns\n         a legal matter involving an African-American, Robert Ellis, in\n         the employ of the Klingmans in New York. On January 21, 1943,\n         Minor writes a verbose and witty letter concerning his trip to\n         Washington, D. C. to procure a position in the service and the\n         obstacles encountered. He describes at length his contact with\n         various officers in different branches of the service and\n         other officials, including \n         Ed[ward][R.] Stettinius\n         (1900- 1949), [T.

A July 28, 1945 letter from Charles E. Thompson\n         concerns swords sent from Belgium and France. On September 12,\n         1945, Minor writes a brotherly letter expressing his affection\n         following an apparent misunderstanding in which he also\n         mentions the death of Murray [Mason] McGuire (1872-1845) and\n         news of his wife Clara [Winston Cabell] McGuire, and news of\n         the release of \"Staige\" and Walter [Klingman] from the Army.
