He attended Aspen Hill Academy in Louisa County, Virginia, and completed studies there in 1868. After teaching in a boys school in Nelson County, Virginia, he entered the University of Virginia, where he earned proficiency certificates in Mineralogy and Geology, and in Physics, and a diploma from the School of Pure Mathematics in June of 1872. In July 1873, he earned diplomas from the Schools of General and Industrial Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Applied Mathematics, and Civil Engineering. Subsequently Carter pursued an interest in Medicine, and he recieved an M.D. degree from the University of Maryland in March of 1879. That year he joined the Marine Hospital Service (later the United States Public Health Service) and over his career ascended through the ranks to become Assistant Surgeon General in 1915.\n","\nInitial postings with the Service took him to Cairo, Illinois -- where he met and married Laura Hook, of St. Louis, Missouri, on September 29, 1880 -- Memphis, Tennessee; San Francisco, California; and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Service detailed him as a quarantine officer to Ship Island, Mississippi in 1888, and here began his researches with yellow fever, which he would quickly refine to an extremely high level of expertise. Carter's thorough and methodical observations of the appearance and development of the disease proved critical to Dr. Walter Reed's landmark demonstration of the mosquito transmission of yellow fever in 1900. Assigned to Cuba in 1899, Carter's tour of duty overlapped with those of Reed and the other members of the famous United States Army Yellow Fever Commission, who were able to learn first-hand of Carter's most recent conclusions.\n","\nCarter's long and distinguished sanitary career took him to the Panama Canal Zone in 1904, where he served as Chief Quarantine Officer and Chief of Hospitals for five years. He also undertook detailed investigations and control measures of malaria in North Carolina and elsewhere in the South, and became a founder of the National Malaria Committee. With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation International Health Board, he undertook additional investigation and control measures for yellow fever in Central and South America. His expertise recommended him to the Peruvian government, which named Carter Sanitary Advisor in 1920-1921.\n","\nHealth problems at the end of his life compelled Carter to withdraw from active fieldwork, though he remained a highly valued consultant to the Health Board and a much-beloved and respected teacher for a new generation of sanitarians. Carter closed his career researching and writing the manuscript that his daughter, Laura Armistead Carter, edited and published posthumously in 1931: Yellow Fever: An Epidemiological and Historical Study of its Place of Origin.\n","Processed by: Historical Collections Staff Funding: Web version of the finding aid funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Finding aid by: Henry K. Sharp","Transfered 15 March 1983 from Alderman Special Collections. The collection was re-processed and entered into the Department's Manuscripts database (Access) in May of 2002. Processed by Henry K. Sharp of the Historical Collections and Services Department.","\nThe Carter Papers include correspondence relating to Carter's work on yellow fever and malaria as a surgeon in the Marine Health Service (later United States Public Health Service) and notes for drafts of his  Yellow Fever: An Epidemiological and Historical Study of its Place of Origin.  (Baltimore: The Williams and Wilkins Company, 1931). Included are photographs of and newspaper clippings about Carter, in addition to a small collection of reprints and publications by Carter and others. Also included is the correspondence of his daughter, Laura Armistead Carter with Frederick F. Russell and other members of the Rockefeller Foundation International Health Board, Wade Hampton Frost, of Johns Hopkins University, and others concerning her collaboration with Frost in the editing and publication of Carter's book. Also included are a series of eighteenth-century to mid-nineteenth-century documents principally belonging to Carter's great-grandfather, George Mason, of Spotsylvania and Caroline Counties, Virginia and to Mary Ann Brown, sister of Carter's mother.\n","Special Note: This collection should be consulted in conjunction with the Philip S.

Daniel Parke has Virginian and English estates--heavily in debt--his wife [Jane] the daughter of Philip Ludwell had a considerable fortune--two daughters: Frances married to John Custis and Lucy married to Wm. Byrd--in 1705 Queen Ann made him Governor of Leward Islands held this for 5 years and acquired considerable estate there--in Dec. 1710 he was murdered by the inhabitants \"who plundered his house of all his plate, mony, jewells, and household stuff\"--no reparation ever made--the pretense for this was the suspicion that the Governor was too familiar with some of their wives namely Mrs. Chester by whom he was supposed to have a child--confirmd this by his liberality to the child (at his death too young to be christened)--by his will left all his estate in the Leward Islands for the use of his child called Lucy Chester--the mother Katherine Chester--if Lucy died before she came of age he \"began at last to remember his lawfull children\", gave Frances Custis all his estate in Virginia and England--willing that his daughter should pay the legacies hereafter mentiond and all his debts--hard upon her however Mr. Custis and his wife discharged all the debts due both in England and Virginia amounting to many thousand pounds and then paid the legacies--got no account of debts in the Leward Islands--Mrs. Custis wrote the executor Mr. Rhodny--he said very few of the General's papers came to hand, the mob having destoyed them--a Mr. Perry owed money--now at last after more than 14 yrs. are past a man who calls himself Dunbar Parke, married to Lucy Chester, demands L10,000 of Mr. Custis (Frances long since dead) for debts owed by Daniel Parke in the Leward Islands--no notice ever given of such debts before--since all estates and debts in the four Leward Islands were given to Lucy Chester she ought to be liable for the debts--if the estate in England and Virginia must assume these debts as well as those in Va. and Eng. neither Frances nor Lucy Burd will have anything left from the estate--not the meaning of the testator.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eDocketed \"This paper gives much information respecting the murder of Govr.
