John Moore Douglass owned and operated Aldie Mill, a historically significant Loudoun County mill now owned by the state of Virginia operating from 1807-1971, until his death in 1947. Martha Strother Douglass was a member of the Aldie Presbyterian Church and the Aldie Horticultural Society until 1948 when she moved to Chevy Chase, MD. Before her death in 1969, she moved back to Aldie, VA.","George S. Cable (22 July 1858-26 June 1928) was a merchant in Fauquier Country. He married Lula H.

Originally a farmer in Fauquier County, he later taught at the Millard Prep School in Washington D.C. He was a paternal first cousin to Martha Strother.","The Fenton Mercer Love family lived in Jefferson, Loudoun County in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Joining the army on 14 May 1942, he was a bomber pilot in Italy and attained the rank of sergeant. He flew twenty-one missions before he was wounded in the left eye on 16 November 1944. After several months of treatment, both on the warfront and the home front, he was released from the Valley Forge General Hospital in Pennsylvania.

The letters were written to Martha Strother from a wide circle of acquaintances and family members, covering a variety of topics from recent news and visiting invitations to thank you notes and declarations of love. ","Besides letters and postcards, the collection contains two small, undated, unidentified photographs and some handwritten copies of popular songs and poetry from the early 1900s.","There is one undated note, and one Christmas postcard from 1910 to Mrs. Anderson, who presumably is Martha's grandmother.","There is one letter to George S.

Additionally, there are six government-issued World War II ration books from 1942 used by Andrew Morris Love and his family, one letter from Sara Love to her parents, and a copy of one letter to John Moore Douglass from his brother James Edwards.","The third part of the collection contains handwritten and typed letters mailed in 1945 to James Edwards Douglass from army friends while he was in recovery. In this group there are also some blotters from the 1940s with pictures of women painted on them. Additionally, there are many government documents regarding the release of soldiers from the army, including information booklets with instructions for re-integrating into civilian life and some forms for filing a claim with the National Service Life Insurance.
