Following a year of teaching in a \n         Halifaxschool, he entered the \n         University of Virginia Law School, and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n         Lynchburg, Virginia, but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n         American Expeditionary Forces, and saw\n         active service in \n         Francefrom June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n         Sorbonne, in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n         United States, \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleresumed his\n         legal practice in \n         Lynchburg. He served as a \n         Virginiastate senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n         Virginia, this being the same position\n         which his father, \n         William Randolph Barksdale, had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n         United States District Courtfor the\n         Western District of \n         Virginia, and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957. Following his retirement from the\n         bench he continued to do legal work, including service on the\n         Trial Bench and the Court of Appeals, until his death on 16\n         August 1972.","Judge \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdalemarried \n         Estill Winfree Phillipsin 1934, and they\n         made their home in \n         Lynchburguntil the judge's death.

Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n         Virginiaand as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n         Virginia, and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n         Virginialawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n         Virginiasenators \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., and \n         Carter Glass; \n         Virginiagovernor and \n         University of Virginiapresident \n         Colgate Darden; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n         Edward R. Stettinius, Jr.; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n         Sam Rayburn. A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n         William Randolph Barksdale, his brother; \n         John Barksdale, and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n         France, including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdalebelonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n         Hollins Collegeand the \n         University of Virginia. Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale, with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n         Roanokeand other \n         Virginialocations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n         University of Virginiaalumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n         Virginia Military Institute, court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n         Greer Garsonand \n         John F. Kennedyon the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n         Lynchburg. It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n         Europe. Contained in this section, as\n         well as in the section of oversized material, are Barksdale's\n         certificates for awards he won and positions he held. Two\n         folders contain listings of addresses of people with whom he\n         was acquainted.","The printed material section contains printed items used in\n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's military and\n         professional careers, and printed memorabilia from the \n         Virginia Military Instituteand the \n         University of Virginia. Three folders of\n         newspaper clippings relate to important events in his life and\n         career, including the trial of several German-American Bund\n         leaders, convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in\n         1942 in \n         New York City, at which \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleserved as\n         judge.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

He was\n         educated in local schools, with the exception of one year\n         (1907-1908) which he spent at \n         Cluster Springs Academyin \n         Cluster Springs, Virginia. He attended\n         the \n         Virginia Military Institutefrom 1908 to\n         1911, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree after only\n         three years. Following a year of teaching in a \n         Halifaxschool, he entered the \n         University of Virginia Law School, and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n         Lynchburg, Virginia, but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n         American Expeditionary Forces, and saw\n         active service in \n         Francefrom June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n         Sorbonne, in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n         United States, \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleresumed his\n         legal practice in \n         Lynchburg. He served as a \n         Virginiastate senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n         Virginia, this being the same position\n         which his father, \n         William Randolph Barksdale, had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n         United States District Courtfor the\n         Western District of \n         Virginia, and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957. Following his retirement from the\n         bench he continued to do legal work, including service on the\n         Trial Bench and the Court of Appeals, until his death on 16\n         August 1972.","Judge \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdalemarried \n         Estill Winfree Phillipsin 1934, and they\n         made their home in \n         Lynchburguntil the judge's death. Their\n         family included Mrs. Barksdale's son from her previous\n         marriage, \n         William Causey Phillips, Jr., and the \n         Barksdale's two daughters, \n         Louisa Estill Winfree Barksdale Loyd, and \n         Mary B. Garbee.","In addition to his legal career, \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleserved on the \n         Board of Trustees of Hollins Collegefor\n         over thirty years, was a member of the \n         Board of Visitors of the University of\n         Virginiafor ten years, and was a member of both the\n         Virginia Bar Associationand \n         American Bar Association.","For further biographical information, see the typescript\n         biography in control folder no. 10230.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","These papers, consisting of cat 7770 items, (12 boxes, 1\n         oversize folder; 5 linear shelf feet), are the personal papers\n         of Judge \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdaleof \n         Lynchburg, Virginia. Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n         Virginiaand as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n         Virginia, and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n         Virginialawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n         Virginiasenators \n         Harry F. Byrd, Sr., and \n         Carter Glass; \n         Virginiagovernor and \n         University of Virginiapresident \n         Colgate Darden; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n         Edward R. Stettinius, Jr.; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n         Sam Rayburn. A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n         William Randolph Barksdale, his brother; \n         John Barksdale, and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n         France, including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdalebelonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n         Hollins Collegeand the \n         University of Virginia. Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n         Alfred Dickinson Barksdale, with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n         Roanokeand other \n         Virginialocations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n         University of Virginiaalumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n         Virginia Military Institute, court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n         Greer Garsonand \n         John F. Kennedyon the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n         Lynchburg. It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n         Europe. Contained in this section, as\n         well as in the section of oversized material, are Barksdale's\n         certificates for awards he won and positions he held.

During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n         Edwin Hanson Sanders(1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n         Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders(his\n         mother) to \n         William E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n         Edwin Hanson Sanders(1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n         Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders(his\n         mother) to \n         William E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e.

On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n         Edwin Hanson Sanders(1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n         Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders(his\n         mother) to \n         William E.

During February 1943\n         through April 1945, he was stationed in China. On March 20, he\n         wrote that he arrived at his assigned post and was living in a\n         private home and described life there. His letter of July 20,\n         1943 mentioned that the foods were similar, such as new\n         potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, and watermelon. On\n         July 31, 1944, he has heard good news and broadcasts about the\n         Germans and Japanese. On November 28, 1944, he wrote that he\n         has been moved to a new station; and, on March 20, 1945, he\n         wrote that he is awaiting orders to go home. He wrote, from \n         Miami Beach, Florida, on May 18, 1945,\n         that the war was over, that he has finished processing and is\n         awaiting a new assignment, that some materials are being\n         released, such as tires, and that there is a possibility of an\n         increase in gas allowance. During June through August 1945, he\n         wrote from \n         Stuttgart, Arkansas, concerning work and\n         continuing studies under the G.I. Bill. Letters of October 31\n         and December 19, 1946, are concerned with his marriage to \n         Nelda Rose Hunter.","Other correspondents or topics of interest are: \" \n         Hollins College\" folder -- \n         E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePacific\u003c/geogname\u003e; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRome\u003c/geogname\u003ein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNaples\u003c/geogname\u003efor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home.

History accompanying\n            Herbert's slide presentation.","During 1942-1947, \n         Andrew Trigg Sanders(1910-) wrote about\n         life in \n         North Africaduring World War II, general\n         news about the war and conditions, and family and other news\n         from home. On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePacific\u003c/geogname\u003e; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRome\u003c/geogname\u003ein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNaples\u003c/geogname\u003efor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n         Edwin Hanson Sanders(1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n         Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders(his\n         mother) to \n         William E.

His letter of July 20,\n         1943 mentioned that the foods were similar, such as new\n         potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, and watermelon. On\n         July 31, 1944, he has heard good news and broadcasts about the\n         Germans and Japanese.

He wrote, from \n         Miami Beach, Florida, on May 18, 1945,\n         that the war was over, that he has finished processing and is\n         awaiting a new assignment, that some materials are being\n         released, such as tires, and that there is a possibility of an\n         increase in gas allowance. During June through August 1945, he\n         wrote from \n         Stuttgart, Arkansas, concerning work and\n         continuing studies under the G.I. Bill.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         Camp Pickett, Virginia, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         Walt Disneyand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         Italy. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         North Africa, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         Pacific; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         Romein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         Naplesfor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n         Edwin Hanson Sanders(1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n         Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders(his\n         mother) to \n         William E.

During February 1943\n         through April 1945, he was stationed in China. On March 20, he\n         wrote that he arrived at his assigned post and was living in a\n         private home and described life there. His letter of July 20,\n         1943 mentioned that the foods were similar, such as new\n         potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, and watermelon. On\n         July 31, 1944, he has heard good news and broadcasts about the\n         Germans and Japanese.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePacific\u003c/geogname\u003e; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRome\u003c/geogname\u003ein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNaples\u003c/geogname\u003efor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home.
