","The James Wilson diary of 1804 (in box 3) begins in May documenting a trip to Morgantown starting at a point near Winchester, Virginia (although he could have begun his trip earlier from Alexandria, Virginia on evidence of a 14 May 1804 letter to Wilson in Alexandria from John A. Smith in Falmouth, Virginia (see addenda in box 3). The diary includes details such as names of taverns where he stayed, what he ate and drank (including whiskey), ferriage (for example \"over the North Branch\"), canoeing, distances traveled, and expenses. There is also a record of a trip to Clarksburg. The diary also includes many listings of clients and types of legal work performed in western Virginia. ","Other items of interest (in box 3) include: 1) \"The Gentleman's Annual Pocket Remembrancer, for the Year 1803\"; 2) two handbills advertising a \"Select Ball\" (12 December 1859) and \"A Cotillion Party\" (20 February 1865 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia during the Civil War); 3) prospectus announcing the establishment of the \"Western Virginian\", a Democratic Mason County newspaper advocating the election of John C. Breckinrdige and Joseph Lane in the 1860 U.S. Presidential election; 4) one handbill requesting a gathering of the \"Friends of Southern Rights\" in Richmond, Virginia on 16 April 1861, including a listing of personal names and counties of origin (the Ordinance of Secession passed the Virginia Legislature on 17 April 1861); and 5) reminiscence by C.N. Burns regarding life in Point Pleasant, Virginia during its occupation by the 11th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during 1861-1863 that appeared in the 26 January and 2 February, 1899 issues of the newspaper \"The Buckeye\" published in Troy, Ohio. Written in a humorous style reminiscent of Mark Twain, the Burns narrative describes daily routines (including mention of gambling and steamboats), prominent personalites, and disturbances due to the Civil War. ","\"The Gentleman's Annual Pocket Remembrancer, for the Year 1803\" (separated to the rare book collection) was published in Philadelphia by John Bloren for William Y. Birch, and includes 164 pages.

From 1859 to 1860 he was at the University of Virginia. Wilson's military service is as follows:\n Entered service at Craig Court House, Virginia on May 15, 1861 for 1 year as a Captain, Company B, 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. On recruiting service from February to April 1862. Elected Major on May 1, 1862 at re-organization. Was sightly wounded in action (face) on June 1, 1862 at Seven Pines, Henrico County, Virginia. Was wounded in action (thigh) at Gaines' Mill, Hanover County, Virginia. Went into Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania telling men, \"Now, boys, put your trust in God and follow me!\" Was killed in action on July 3, 1863.","1st Day \nPennsylvania \nOn the 25th of June Pickett's Division (the Division to which I belong) crossed the Potomac into Maryland \u0026 encamped about one mile north of Williamsport, a town of about 500 inhabitants. This place is situated on the north bank of the Potomac in one of the most fertile regions of the state, little or no sympathy was shown us by the citizens of the town. Before going into camp we executed a Private from the 18th Va. Regt. for desertion. The Division waded the river, the water taking most of the men under the arms.","2nd Day \nPennsylvania \n26th June \nOrders to move in the direction of Hagerstown at 4 o'clock, do not get off until 10, delay occasioned by the passing of A. P. Hill's Corps to the front. Whisky rations issued (it being a very wet morning), every man in spirits, both good \u0026 bad. Marched through Hagerstown into Franklin Co. near Greencastle, Pa, passed through Middleburg, a small place on the Md. \u0026 Pa. line. Hagerstown is about 7 miles from the river \u0026 about 5 from the Pa. line \u0026 contains between 4500 and 5000 inhabitants a large majority of whom are ultra unionist in sentiment.","3rd Day \nPennsylvania \n27th June \nMarched out of camp in the direction of Chambersburg, passed through Greencastle \u0026 Marion small villages, unworthy of note. The country from the Md. Line to Chambersburg is rather rugged \u0026 the soil not half so fine as that portion of Maryland we passed over on yesterday.\nThere is a great quantity of the limestone \u0026 it is too near the surface. The country immediately around Chambersburg is as pretty \u0026 well cultivated as any country we have traveled through. All the farms are on a small scale, but are finely cultivated. Private dwellings are all neat \u0026 conveniently built, built, but no elegance of style whatever. Chambersburg has about 3000 inhabitants situated on the railroad leading from Hagerstown Md. to Harrisburg Pa. The town is handsomely laid off with a number of beautiful residences on its eastern outskirts. This is an abolition den with very few sympathizers for the Southern cause. My regiment was halted in this place \u0026 made the Provost Gd for the town, the remainder of the Division passed through in the direction of Carlisle \u0026 encamped about 3 miles north of the place.","4th Day \nPennsylvania \nSabbath, June 28 \nRemained as Provost Guard for the town during the day, nothing of interest occurring. The day was spent in securing supplies for the army. Richmond papers of the24th (26th?) recd. Report the enemy repulsed with slaughter near Vicksburg. News recd of the capture of Carlisle by Genl. Ewell, the citizens prepared for him \u0026 5000 of his troops a feast, Yankees mode of courting favor. Met today with Captain [left blank by Wilson] of the Austrian Army just arrived at Genl Lee's HdQrs, a spectator in the present struggle sent over by his government to witness any military operations. He expresses admiration for our soldiers \u0026 thinks Genl Lee the greatest Genl of the age. A six or seven year old boy came into our office at 11 o'clock at night inquiring for the Provost Marshal. Says he is badly treated at home (his mother being dead \u0026 his father absent for the past three years, he knows not exactly where) and desires to join us. We offer to send him back to his home, but he refuses to go \u0026 asks permission for the night. Sleeps with the surgeon on the floor.","5th Day \nPennsylvania \nJune 29th \nOur regiment is relieved this morning by Col. Griffin's Mississippi regt. \u0026 we report to our Division 3 miles north of the town. The Division under marching orders. Marched at 4 o'clock P.M. back in the direction of Chambersburg, encamp at night 2 miles south of the town on the Hagerstown road. Nothing of interest occurring.","6th \u0026 7th Days \nPennsylvania \nJune 30th \nIn camp. Nothing of interest occurring through the day. One party sent out this morning to destroy the railroad from Hagerstown to Harrisburg, another sent out to purchase Qr. Master \u0026 Commissary stores.","July 1st \nTroops engaged in destroying public property in the town of Chambersburg \u0026 tearing up the railroad. Four roll calls a day ordered to be had to prevent the troops straggling from camp.","July 2nd, Pennsylvania \nOrdered to march in the direction of Gatesburgh [Gettysburg]. Marched within 4 miles of the town a distance of 25 miles from our camp. Heard before we arrived at Gatesburgh [Gettysburg] that our advance had heavy fighting around that place. Report correct. Six thousand prisoners taken and the enemy driven one or two miles. Number of killed and wounded not known. Loss heavy on both sides.","July 3rd \nIn line of battle expecting to move forward every moment. With our trust in God we fear not an earthly enemy – God be with us.","Camp Near Greenville \nSaturday 14 march '63","My Dear Papa \nOur brigade arrived at this place this morning, a distance of twenty five miles from Tarboro. Sunday morning 15th March - We move this morning in the direction of the Sounds. The country that we are passing through is the greatest corn and hog country that I have ever been in. In fact everything seems plenty except flour. Thursday 19th March - We have traveled about forty miles and reached a little place called Plymouth on the Roanoke river just where it empties into the Sound.  We are some distance inside the enemies lines [drove in] their pickets soon this morning I don't think we take the town though we might do it with ease as they have but a small force. Their gun boats would prevent our holding it long and then there is nothing to gain by taking. We send out this evening our wagons with a large escort about 30 miles below this [?] Terrill we are now in Washington. Sunday morning March 22 - our wagons arrived this morning with a large quantity of corn and some forty or fifty thousand pounds of bacon. Our orders now are to march back in the direction of Greenville. We get plenty of Roanoke River shad here at 50 cts. a piece, eggs 10 cts a dozen, sweet potatoes $1.00 per [lb?], lard 20 cts. per lb, bacon from 15 to 25 cts per lb and butter about the same, so you see we may live well, but back about Greenville things are little higher. The yankees have destroyed a great deal of property in this country, most of the houses of loyal citizens have been burned or robbed of furniture. ","Wednesday March 25th- We are now back at Greenville, where we will move to next I know not - but I think it more than probable we will be ordered to Kinstown or Goldsborough.  We never hear any news down in this country, the people are generally very ignorant, you will find families owning large numbers of slaves not able to write their names. The females are generally very ugly and all of them use snuff, in other words they are guilty of the filthy practice of dipping. We have none of our baggage with us. I haven't changed my underclothing for three weeks. Henry is quite unwell. I wish I had an opportunity of sending him home.  George my horse has been valued by the Qr. Master at $600.00 so if I lose him I will only lose $25.00. My love to [Fred and Mattie].  Direct to Garnett's Brigade, D. H. Hill's Division, N.

The first series focuses on the buildings and structures themselves as well as specific features of buildings, and documents details and changes to each location. Series 2 is made up of journal entries, ledgers, and lists that are relevant to different areas on the estate. The last series compiles all reports that aided in the Historic Structures Report, or reports that were built off of the HSR. All series are filed alphabetically by title, then chronologically.\nSeries 1. Buildings\nSeries 2. Journals and Inventories\nSeries 3. Reports","Mount Vernon's Restoration Department is responsible for all maintenance and repairs to every historic structure on the estate. Because of the unique and historic nature of the Mansion and all outbuildings, special expertise in historic building methods and structures is necessary to complete all of the necessary restoration work done to Mount Vernon's historic property. While there has always been staff dedicated to these tasks, the goals and demands of the profession have evolved and increased the need for highly skilled experts in the field of restoration. A structural survey of the Mansion was conducted in 1989 and recommended the completion of a historic structures report before any other major renovations were completed. The architectural firm Mesick-Cohen-Waite was hired to compile this report which was finished in 1993. Extensive historic documentation was necessary to complete the report and these Restoration Files are the final product of that work. Mount Vernon Library staff, restoration staff, and volunteers worked for months to collect this information that was vital for the success of the report. Later studies and reports, dated into the 2000s, were added to these files in order to keep the files up-to-date and complete. According to the 1992 Minutes of the MVLA, the Historic Structures Report is invaluable and \"presents for the first time a comprehensive chronology and various interpretations of the development of the Mansion house. It offers a systematic arrangement of the measured drawings collection, condition reports of all Mansion spaces, hardware analysis, recommended repairs, etc.\"","Original order was kept, however file naming and alphabetical order was \"cleaned-up\" to maintain controlled vocabulary. By request of the Restoration Department no records were discarded.","MVLA Minutes and Annual Reports, MVLA Publications, Measured drawings, photographs, Papers of the MVLA, Bound Volumes of the Superintendent's Letters, Diaries, and Monthly Reports","This collection contains original records and photocopied documentation that was compiled in the early 1990s to provide necessary assistance for the preparation of the Historic Structures Report.  Original materials include correspondence of Mount Vernon Superintendents, employees, and Vice Regents, accounts and financial documents, reports, photographs, and architectural drawings. Photocopied or printed documents were taken from ledgers, accounts, and correspondence of George Washington and his staff, published primary and secondary sources, and MVLA reports.
