These family members include Albert Sherwood Wilson (1818-1894), his grandson Albert Frederick Wilson (1883-1940), Ruth Danenhower (1887-1974) the wife of Albert Frederick Wilson, Mary A. Wilson the mother of Albert Frederick Wilson, as well as various other correspondents including Albert Frederick Wilson's sisters and children.","Albert Frederick studied at the University from 1902-1907. There he was very involved in extracurricular activities, including the Glee Club, a fraternity called Phi Sigma Kappa, as well as the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" becoming the editor in chief in 1907.","Albert Frederick Wilson taught at the School of Journalism at New York University. There he met Ruth Danenhower (1887-1974) when she was a student in his class, and they were married in 1916. They had three children, Sherwood, Geoffrey, and Sloan.","This material contains racist language or imagery. The purpose of this note is to give users the opportunity to decide whether they need or want to view these materials, or at least, to mentally or emotionally prepare themselves to view the materials. For archival materials, more specific information about these materials may be available in the finding aid.","Occasionally there were empty envelopes present in the collection that we could not match with letters. Since they were not numerous, we have left them with the letters by the date stamped on the envelopes.","This letter was damaged by mold and torn. The Preservation team did some work on the letter to address the mold problem and it was placed in mylar to furnish added protection and support.","Photographs are attached to large sheets, which were put inside large mylar L-sleeves for preservation. Each sheet has a typed description provided by the family, included in the oversize folder witht the folders.","The papers chiefly consist of letters Albert Frederick Wilson (1883-1940) sent to his mother in New Jersey while a student at the University of Virginia. There is also some correspondence from Wilson's father and grandfather; family photographs; and unpublished manuscripts by Wilson.  ","Most of the letters are handwritten. But starting in 1906, typewritten letters become more frequent. The roles of African Americans at the University of Virginia are mentioned several times in his letters.","The rest of the papers include three published books written by Albert Frederick Wilson including 'Pok O' Moonshine', 'The Township Line', and 'Higher than the Wind can Blow', letters of correspondence between him and his wife, academic papers, testimonials about Albert Sherwood Wilson and his teaching positions, a copy of the April 1917 \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" a scrapbook filled with reviews on Albert Frederick Wilson's book 'Pok O' Moonshine', photographs of the family, as well as various other documents which explore the lives of the Wilson family.","Albert Frederick Wilson's first letter describes his trip down to Virginia by train from New Jersey, with a stopover in Washington. He describes his first impressions of the University of Virginia, as well as including some disparaging remarks about the African American citizens of Charlottesville and the Southern drawl of Virginia's speakers (September 13, 1903). Wilson describes his boarding experience with a doctor's family, who he was surprised to discover were Baptists and \"very religious (quite a novelty here)\" (September 17, 1903). He also mentions that the cost of living was cheaper in Charlottesville, Virginia, than in Newark, New Jersey, where his family lived (September ?, 1903).","There are various references to him going to a Baptist church, including a black church in the area (September 14, 1903). This letter also mentions going to a YMCA located near the University of Virginia to see the list of available boarding houses where he found a  boarding house on West Main Street run by a doctor's wife. He appears to have boarded first with the family of Dr. Jones and later with the family of Dr. Roy K. Flanagan, but it is unclear when he changed his boarding situationhouses. He also describes Professor Noah Davis and how he managed to get into his class, normally not open to first years (September 14, 1903).","In a letter, October 11, 1903, Wilson describes his ride by horseback out to Monticello (October 11, 1903). He also gives his impressions of an African American religious revival held in Charlottesville, Virginia (December 7, 1903).","In 1904, A. Frederick was involved in various clubs at the University, and attended events such as the Peabody music recital by the Young Men's Christian Association. Wilson mentions hearing one of their guest speakers (January 25, 1904). In one letter, Albert expressed anger towards Dr. Kent because he sent him to the Chairman's office for not doing exercises from which he thought he was excused (November 4, 1904). This letter also mentions hearing the speech by a lawyer, Mr. Lee, who was representing a prisoner on trial for a murder in the area. He was also heavily involved in the Glee Club and his participation continued until graduation (November 18, 1904). ","                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Wilson give an itinerary for the Glee Club which was traveling to Staunton, Virginia, for a concert (November 18, 1904) and other places on a musical tour (November 21 and 25, 1904). ","A. Frederick mentions several well known figures at the University of Virginia. This includes Edwin A. Alderman, the first president of the University of Virginia. He briefly mentions Alderman's selection as president (October 9, 1904). Another person he mentioned was Professor Kent, who was an English professor at the University. Frederick and Professor Kent worked together closely, and Kent is referenced in many of Wilson's letters while at the University. "," A letter written around November 25, 1904, describes Wilson finding a drunken student in the snow who had fallen and broken his ankle. Wilson helped him back to his rooms at Dawson's Row .","Wilson became a member of the Editorial Review Board (January 1-2, 1905). There are a lot of references in 1905 to a songbook A. Frederick had been trying to write and sell to groups or at events around grounds and he received the support of Dr. Kent for publishing the songbook (January 27, February 26, and November 3, 5, and 8, 1905). ","Wilson mentions correcting the proof of his essay for publication and reading one of his poems before Dr. Kent, who liked the poem (April 7, 1905). Wilson accompanied the Glee Club on the train to Crozet to perform at the Miller School, a large preparatory school in the Blue Ridge Mountains (January 21, 1905).","Eventually A. Frederick Wilson became known as a writer in the University of Virginia community. Wilson appeared twice in the \"Corks and Curls,\" the annual yearbook at the University of Virginia which began in 1888. This yearbook published different student creative works, including poems, short stories and cartoons (May 16, 1905). He was also heavily involved with the editing staff of the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" as an Associate Editor. ","He mentions that the Editor in Chief, William McCulley James, went missing temporarily from the University and he had to locate the proof of the magazine, correct it and send it back to the publishers in two days (May 23, 1905). James continued as Editor in Chief through the spring of 1906. A. Frederick Wilson became the Editor in Chief the fall of 1906. Wilson had high hopes of receiving one of the medals for his literary work, which he apparently did (June 10, 15, 1905).","A. Frederick was also involved with the Glee club in 1905. He described the preparation and surrounding events for the inauguration of President Alderman, which included a procession of students, alumni, visiting professors and university presidents, the Alderman family, and then the Governor and Alderman. Wilson mentions that he marched with the Glee Club in this procession (April 17, 1905).","A. Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).","Letters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). ","Wilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906). He also used the songbook in the Glee Club events to promote its sale(November 2, 1906).","A. Frederick was involved in several other extracurricular activities this year. He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906). He writes that the magazine got first place in college magazines for 1906 (November 2, 1906). ","He considered getting involved with a fraternity called Alpha Delta Phi, which is still currently active at the University of Virginia.  Apparently Dr. Kent had close connections to this fraternity and wished that A. Frederick would join it. The cost to be in the fraternity was twenty dollars at the time which he was unwilling or unable to pay (November 30, 1906).","A. Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A. Frederick mentions that he was forced to pay a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a receipt for this has survived (October 18, 1906).","There is also a reference to an African American woman in one of his letters. The room he received when he returned to the University of Virginia had bedbugs in it, so they sent for the woman to come and clean it before he moved in (November 9, 1906).","In 1907, A. Frederick was very active with the Glee Club. In one letter, he mentions that the Glee club got its name from an older club that had formed in the University of Virginia in 1888 (April 22, 1907). He writes that the Glee Club would be giving their first concert in February (January 27, 1907). ","On March 11, 1907, he also mentions the itinerary for the upcoming Glee Club trip in April, chiefly in Virginia. Starting on April 4th, they were going to sing at Sweet Briar College, Lynchburg Woman's College and Roanoke where they would be performing in two places, a girl's school and a theatre. Then they went to Danville, Virginia, Washington,D.C. and finally, performed two concerts in Richmond and two in Norfolk (March 11, 1907). ","In a letter on April 8th, he mentions the Glee club performed at a theater in Staunton, attended by students from Mary Baldwin College. There is a small newspaper clipping about the performance at Rawlins (April 8, 15, 1907).","A. Frederick continued his involvment in other extracurricular activities as well. A. Frederick became the Editor in Chief of the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" this year. He mentions that his  publications in the magazine had brought him a good deal of fame on grounds (April 27, 1907). ","A. Frederick became a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (January 18, 1907) and wrote a song for one of the banquets they held (January 21, 1907). He also describes the \"annual spring goating\" or initiation activities of one of the law fraternities, including a mock court on the Rotunda steps (April 1, 1907)","A. Frederick mentions rumors that he was being considered for several honors for his work at the University of Virginia this year, including the Raven Society (January 15, 1907). He also mentions that he won the Edgar Allen Poe award for best short story for \"The Tea Machine\" (June 11, 1907).","Frederick wrote about a student being dismissed at the University of Virginia by the Honor Committee for breaking the honor code. The student appealed for and got a public trial by a jury of alumni (March 21, 1907). This letter furnishes some insight on the working of the honor system at the time. His letters have several mentions of the baseball season (May 4, 15, 1907).","In the summer of 1907, A. Frederick talks about  his upcoming camping trip with the Flanagans and a group of friends in the mountains, at Sugar Hollow near Moorman's River, Albemarle County, Virginia (May 16, 1907; June 6, 11, 18, 1907).","Prior to 1883, Albert Sherwood Wilson was the principal of a school in Bridgeport, Connecticut for over 20 years. In 1883, he taught first grade at Glen Cove Long Island, New York, where he eventually became principal.  In one letter, June 28, 1889, he mentions Albert Barnum Wilson, who was the father of Albert Frederick Wilson. Albert Barnum Wilson was teaching in Newark, New Jersey and was a principal of one of the schools there during this time. Albert Sherwood Wilson had moved to Newark due to this and obtained a current certificate qualifying him to teach in New Jersey. Also present is a note of thanks to Wilson for his work as Chorister at his church.","Works include \"Pok O' Moonshine\" and \"The Township Line.\"","His children include Geoffrey, Sloan, and Sherwood.","On printed stationery for the International Press Exhibition, American Committee, Lee's letter mentions a nice review for one of Wilson's books by Helen Parsons who covers the theater for \"Long Island Life\" and was an old student of theirs.","Photographs include images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor at New York University's School of Journalism. One of these images includes him on a horse in New Canaan, Connecticut and another of him at his summer home in Ticonderoga, New York. There is also an image of multiple people on a ship in this folder. In 1932, Wilson and his family went to France for a year. H.G. Wells was allegedly on their ship, and we have a photograph of the entire group of passengers, so presumably this included Wells as one of the people in this photograph.","Albert is also portrayed with his family circa 1930 in a location called Ormond Beach, Florida. This was the location of one of Ruth's homes and was a well-known house in Florida, once being owned by John D. Rockefeller. ","Sheet 1 contains many images of the family when they went to France for a year in 1932. There are also various photographs of A. Frederick Wilson taken in locations such as Rogers Rock, Lake George, New York, where he died in 1940; Daytona Beach,Florida, where Wilson and his family had moved; and other locations. There are also a few images of Wilson and his children when he was a professor. ","Sheet 2 contains many images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor. Many of these images are taken in various locations in New York as well as in Florida. There are images of his wife, Ruth, and his children including Geoffrey Wilson, Mary Sherwood Wilson and Sloan Wilson. ","Sheet 3 contains images of Wilson's ancestors including his mother Mary, his great-grandfather, Robert Wilson, his great-aunt and uncle, Amelia Greene and George Greene, his father Albert Barnum Wilson, and others.  Most of these were taken in Connecticut. ","Sheet 4 contains various photographs of Wilson when he took a trip to France with his family in 1932.","Includes voting cards for editor of the \"The University of Virginia Magazine,\" report cards, registration cards, lists of classes taken, and a copy of his graduation certificate.","Copies of publishedd material transferred to Rare Books include three books by Wilson, \"The Township Line\" (1919), \"Pok O' Moonshine\" (1927) and \"Higher Than the Wind Can Blow\" (1934).","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MSS .16340","Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","/repositories/3/resources/997"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"collection_title_tesim":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"collection_ssim":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["This collection was given to the University of Virginia Special Collections Library by Dr. Timothy D.

Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLetters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906).

He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906).

Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A.

","A. Frederick mentions several well known figures at the University of Virginia. This includes Edwin A. Alderman, the first president of the University of Virginia. He briefly mentions Alderman's selection as president (October 9, 1904). Another person he mentioned was Professor Kent, who was an English professor at the University. Frederick and Professor Kent worked together closely, and Kent is referenced in many of Wilson's letters while at the University. "," A letter written around November 25, 1904, describes Wilson finding a drunken student in the snow who had fallen and broken his ankle. Wilson helped him back to his rooms at Dawson's Row .","Wilson became a member of the Editorial Review Board (January 1-2, 1905). There are a lot of references in 1905 to a songbook A. Frederick had been trying to write and sell to groups or at events around grounds and he received the support of Dr. Kent for publishing the songbook (January 27, February 26, and November 3, 5, and 8, 1905). ","Wilson mentions correcting the proof of his essay for publication and reading one of his poems before Dr. Kent, who liked the poem (April 7, 1905). Wilson accompanied the Glee Club on the train to Crozet to perform at the Miller School, a large preparatory school in the Blue Ridge Mountains (January 21, 1905).","Eventually A. Frederick Wilson became known as a writer in the University of Virginia community. Wilson appeared twice in the \"Corks and Curls,\" the annual yearbook at the University of Virginia which began in 1888. This yearbook published different student creative works, including poems, short stories and cartoons (May 16, 1905). He was also heavily involved with the editing staff of the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" as an Associate Editor. ","He mentions that the Editor in Chief, William McCulley James, went missing temporarily from the University and he had to locate the proof of the magazine, correct it and send it back to the publishers in two days (May 23, 1905). James continued as Editor in Chief through the spring of 1906. A. Frederick Wilson became the Editor in Chief the fall of 1906. Wilson had high hopes of receiving one of the medals for his literary work, which he apparently did (June 10, 15, 1905).","A. Frederick was also involved with the Glee club in 1905. He described the preparation and surrounding events for the inauguration of President Alderman, which included a procession of students, alumni, visiting professors and university presidents, the Alderman family, and then the Governor and Alderman. Wilson mentions that he marched with the Glee Club in this procession (April 17, 1905).","A. Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).","Letters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). ","Wilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906). He also used the songbook in the Glee Club events to promote its sale(November 2, 1906).","A. Frederick was involved in several other extracurricular activities this year. He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906). He writes that the magazine got first place in college magazines for 1906 (November 2, 1906). ","He considered getting involved with a fraternity called Alpha Delta Phi, which is still currently active at the University of Virginia.  Apparently Dr. Kent had close connections to this fraternity and wished that A. Frederick would join it. The cost to be in the fraternity was twenty dollars at the time which he was unwilling or unable to pay (November 30, 1906).","A. Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A. Frederick mentions that he was forced to pay a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a receipt for this has survived (October 18, 1906).","There is also a reference to an African American woman in one of his letters. The room he received when he returned to the University of Virginia had bedbugs in it, so they sent for the woman to come and clean it before he moved in (November 9, 1906).","In 1907, A. Frederick was very active with the Glee Club. In one letter, he mentions that the Glee club got its name from an older club that had formed in the University of Virginia in 1888 (April 22, 1907). He writes that the Glee Club would be giving their first concert in February (January 27, 1907). ","On March 11, 1907, he also mentions the itinerary for the upcoming Glee Club trip in April, chiefly in Virginia. Starting on April 4th, they were going to sing at Sweet Briar College, Lynchburg Woman's College and Roanoke where they would be performing in two places, a girl's school and a theatre. Then they went to Danville, Virginia, Washington,D.C. and finally, performed two concerts in Richmond and two in Norfolk (March 11, 1907). ","In a letter on April 8th, he mentions the Glee club performed at a theater in Staunton, attended by students from Mary Baldwin College. There is a small newspaper clipping about the performance at Rawlins (April 8, 15, 1907).","A. Frederick continued his involvment in other extracurricular activities as well. A. Frederick became the Editor in Chief of the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" this year. He mentions that his  publications in the magazine had brought him a good deal of fame on grounds (April 27, 1907). ","A. Frederick became a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (January 18, 1907) and wrote a song for one of the banquets they held (January 21, 1907). He also describes the \"annual spring goating\" or initiation activities of one of the law fraternities, including a mock court on the Rotunda steps (April 1, 1907)","A. Frederick mentions rumors that he was being considered for several honors for his work at the University of Virginia this year, including the Raven Society (January 15, 1907). He also mentions that he won the Edgar Allen Poe award for best short story for \"The Tea Machine\" (June 11, 1907).","Frederick wrote about a student being dismissed at the University of Virginia by the Honor Committee for breaking the honor code. The student appealed for and got a public trial by a jury of alumni (March 21, 1907). This letter furnishes some insight on the working of the honor system at the time. His letters have several mentions of the baseball season (May 4, 15, 1907).","In the summer of 1907, A. Frederick talks about  his upcoming camping trip with the Flanagans and a group of friends in the mountains, at Sugar Hollow near Moorman's River, Albemarle County, Virginia (May 16, 1907; June 6, 11, 18, 1907).","Prior to 1883, Albert Sherwood Wilson was the principal of a school in Bridgeport, Connecticut for over 20 years. In 1883, he taught first grade at Glen Cove Long Island, New York, where he eventually became principal.  In one letter, June 28, 1889, he mentions Albert Barnum Wilson, who was the father of Albert Frederick Wilson. Albert Barnum Wilson was teaching in Newark, New Jersey and was a principal of one of the schools there during this time. Albert Sherwood Wilson had moved to Newark due to this and obtained a current certificate qualifying him to teach in New Jersey. Also present is a note of thanks to Wilson for his work as Chorister at his church.","Works include \"Pok O' Moonshine\" and \"The Township Line.\"","His children include Geoffrey, Sloan, and Sherwood.","On printed stationery for the International Press Exhibition, American Committee, Lee's letter mentions a nice review for one of Wilson's books by Helen Parsons who covers the theater for \"Long Island Life\" and was an old student of theirs.","Photographs include images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor at New York University's School of Journalism. One of these images includes him on a horse in New Canaan, Connecticut and another of him at his summer home in Ticonderoga, New York. There is also an image of multiple people on a ship in this folder. In 1932, Wilson and his family went to France for a year. H.G. Wells was allegedly on their ship, and we have a photograph of the entire group of passengers, so presumably this included Wells as one of the people in this photograph.","Albert is also portrayed with his family circa 1930 in a location called Ormond Beach, Florida. This was the location of one of Ruth's homes and was a well-known house in Florida, once being owned by John D. Rockefeller. ","Sheet 1 contains many images of the family when they went to France for a year in 1932. There are also various photographs of A. Frederick Wilson taken in locations such as Rogers Rock, Lake George, New York, where he died in 1940; Daytona Beach,Florida, where Wilson and his family had moved; and other locations. There are also a few images of Wilson and his children when he was a professor. ","Sheet 2 contains many images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor. Many of these images are taken in various locations in New York as well as in Florida. There are images of his wife, Ruth, and his children including Geoffrey Wilson, Mary Sherwood Wilson and Sloan Wilson. ","Sheet 3 contains images of Wilson's ancestors including his mother Mary, his great-grandfather, Robert Wilson, his great-aunt and uncle, Amelia Greene and George Greene, his father Albert Barnum Wilson, and others.

There is also some correspondence from Wilson's father and grandfather; family photographs; and unpublished manuscripts by Wilson.  ","Most of the letters are handwritten.

He describes his first impressions of the University of Virginia, as well as including some disparaging remarks about the African American citizens of Charlottesville and the Southern drawl of Virginia's speakers (September 13, 1903). Wilson describes his boarding experience with a doctor's family, who he was surprised to discover were Baptists and \"very religious (quite a novelty here)\" (September 17, 1903). He also mentions that the cost of living was cheaper in Charlottesville, Virginia, than in Newark, New Jersey, where his family lived (September ?, 1903).","There are various references to him going to a Baptist church, including a black church in the area (September 14, 1903). This letter also mentions going to a YMCA located near the University of Virginia to see the list of available boarding houses where he found a  boarding house on West Main Street run by a doctor's wife. He appears to have boarded first with the family of Dr. Jones and later with the family of Dr. Roy K. Flanagan, but it is unclear when he changed his boarding situationhouses. He also describes Professor Noah Davis and how he managed to get into his class, normally not open to first years (September 14, 1903).","In a letter, October 11, 1903, Wilson describes his ride by horseback out to Monticello (October 11, 1903). He also gives his impressions of an African American religious revival held in Charlottesville, Virginia (December 7, 1903).","In 1904, A. Frederick was involved in various clubs at the University, and attended events such as the Peabody music recital by the Young Men's Christian Association. Wilson mentions hearing one of their guest speakers (January 25, 1904). In one letter, Albert expressed anger towards Dr. Kent because he sent him to the Chairman's office for not doing exercises from which he thought he was excused (November 4, 1904). This letter also mentions hearing the speech by a lawyer, Mr. Lee, who was representing a prisoner on trial for a murder in the area. He was also heavily involved in the Glee Club and his participation continued until graduation (November 18, 1904).

","A. Frederick mentions several well known figures at the University of Virginia. This includes Edwin A. Alderman, the first president of the University of Virginia. He briefly mentions Alderman's selection as president (October 9, 1904). Another person he mentioned was Professor Kent, who was an English professor at the University. Frederick and Professor Kent worked together closely, and Kent is referenced in many of Wilson's letters while at the University. "," A letter written around November 25, 1904, describes Wilson finding a drunken student in the snow who had fallen and broken his ankle. Wilson helped him back to his rooms at Dawson's Row .","Wilson became a member of the Editorial Review Board (January 1-2, 1905). There are a lot of references in 1905 to a songbook A. Frederick had been trying to write and sell to groups or at events around grounds and he received the support of Dr. Kent for publishing the songbook (January 27, February 26, and November 3, 5, and 8, 1905). ","Wilson mentions correcting the proof of his essay for publication and reading one of his poems before Dr. Kent, who liked the poem (April 7, 1905). Wilson accompanied the Glee Club on the train to Crozet to perform at the Miller School, a large preparatory school in the Blue Ridge Mountains (January 21, 1905).","Eventually A. Frederick Wilson became known as a writer in the University of Virginia community. Wilson appeared twice in the \"Corks and Curls,\" the annual yearbook at the University of Virginia which began in 1888. This yearbook published different student creative works, including poems, short stories and cartoons (May 16, 1905). He was also heavily involved with the editing staff of the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" as an Associate Editor. ","He mentions that the Editor in Chief, William McCulley James, went missing temporarily from the University and he had to locate the proof of the magazine, correct it and send it back to the publishers in two days (May 23, 1905). James continued as Editor in Chief through the spring of 1906. A. Frederick Wilson became the Editor in Chief the fall of 1906. Wilson had high hopes of receiving one of the medals for his literary work, which he apparently did (June 10, 15, 1905).","A. Frederick was also involved with the Glee club in 1905. He described the preparation and surrounding events for the inauguration of President Alderman, which included a procession of students, alumni, visiting professors and university presidents, the Alderman family, and then the Governor and Alderman. Wilson mentions that he marched with the Glee Club in this procession (April 17, 1905).","A. Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).","Letters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). ","Wilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906). He also used the songbook in the Glee Club events to promote its sale(November 2, 1906).","A. Frederick was involved in several other extracurricular activities this year. He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906). He writes that the magazine got first place in college magazines for 1906 (November 2, 1906). ","He considered getting involved with a fraternity called Alpha Delta Phi, which is still currently active at the University of Virginia.  Apparently Dr. Kent had close connections to this fraternity and wished that A. Frederick would join it. The cost to be in the fraternity was twenty dollars at the time which he was unwilling or unable to pay (November 30, 1906).","A. Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A. Frederick mentions that he was forced to pay a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a receipt for this has survived (October 18, 1906).","There is also a reference to an African American woman in one of his letters. The room he received when he returned to the University of Virginia had bedbugs in it, so they sent for the woman to come and clean it before he moved in (November 9, 1906).","In 1907, A. Frederick was very active with the Glee Club. In one letter, he mentions that the Glee club got its name from an older club that had formed in the University of Virginia in 1888 (April 22, 1907). He writes that the Glee Club would be giving their first concert in February (January 27, 1907). ","On March 11, 1907, he also mentions the itinerary for the upcoming Glee Club trip in April, chiefly in Virginia. Starting on April 4th, they were going to sing at Sweet Briar College, Lynchburg Woman's College and Roanoke where they would be performing in two places, a girl's school and a theatre. Then they went to Danville, Virginia, Washington,D.C. and finally, performed two concerts in Richmond and two in Norfolk (March 11, 1907). ","In a letter on April 8th, he mentions the Glee club performed at a theater in Staunton, attended by students from Mary Baldwin College. There is a small newspaper clipping about the performance at Rawlins (April 8, 15, 1907).","A. Frederick continued his involvment in other extracurricular activities as well. A. Frederick became the Editor in Chief of the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" this year. He mentions that his  publications in the magazine had brought him a good deal of fame on grounds (April 27, 1907). ","A. Frederick became a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (January 18, 1907) and wrote a song for one of the banquets they held (January 21, 1907). He also describes the \"annual spring goating\" or initiation activities of one of the law fraternities, including a mock court on the Rotunda steps (April 1, 1907)","A. Frederick mentions rumors that he was being considered for several honors for his work at the University of Virginia this year, including the Raven Society (January 15, 1907). He also mentions that he won the Edgar Allen Poe award for best short story for \"The Tea Machine\" (June 11, 1907).","Frederick wrote about a student being dismissed at the University of Virginia by the Honor Committee for breaking the honor code. The student appealed for and got a public trial by a jury of alumni (March 21, 1907). This letter furnishes some insight on the working of the honor system at the time. His letters have several mentions of the baseball season (May 4, 15, 1907).","In the summer of 1907, A. Frederick talks about  his upcoming camping trip with the Flanagans and a group of friends in the mountains, at Sugar Hollow near Moorman's River, Albemarle County, Virginia (May 16, 1907; June 6, 11, 18, 1907).","Prior to 1883, Albert Sherwood Wilson was the principal of a school in Bridgeport, Connecticut for over 20 years. In 1883, he taught first grade at Glen Cove Long Island, New York, where he eventually became principal.  In one letter, June 28, 1889, he mentions Albert Barnum Wilson, who was the father of Albert Frederick Wilson. Albert Barnum Wilson was teaching in Newark, New Jersey and was a principal of one of the schools there during this time. Albert Sherwood Wilson had moved to Newark due to this and obtained a current certificate qualifying him to teach in New Jersey. Also present is a note of thanks to Wilson for his work as Chorister at his church.","Works include \"Pok O' Moonshine\" and \"The Township Line.\"","His children include Geoffrey, Sloan, and Sherwood.","On printed stationery for the International Press Exhibition, American Committee, Lee's letter mentions a nice review for one of Wilson's books by Helen Parsons who covers the theater for \"Long Island Life\" and was an old student of theirs.","Photographs include images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor at New York University's School of Journalism. One of these images includes him on a horse in New Canaan, Connecticut and another of him at his summer home in Ticonderoga, New York. There is also an image of multiple people on a ship in this folder. In 1932, Wilson and his family went to France for a year. H.G. Wells was allegedly on their ship, and we have a photograph of the entire group of passengers, so presumably this included Wells as one of the people in this photograph.","Albert is also portrayed with his family circa 1930 in a location called Ormond Beach, Florida. This was the location of one of Ruth's homes and was a well-known house in Florida, once being owned by John D. Rockefeller. ","Sheet 1 contains many images of the family when they went to France for a year in 1932. There are also various photographs of A. Frederick Wilson taken in locations such as Rogers Rock, Lake George, New York, where he died in 1940; Daytona Beach,Florida, where Wilson and his family had moved; and other locations. There are also a few images of Wilson and his children when he was a professor. ","Sheet 2 contains many images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor. Many of these images are taken in various locations in New York as well as in Florida. There are images of his wife, Ruth, and his children including Geoffrey Wilson, Mary Sherwood Wilson and Sloan Wilson. ","Sheet 3 contains images of Wilson's ancestors including his mother Mary, his great-grandfather, Robert Wilson, his great-aunt and uncle, Amelia Greene and George Greene, his father Albert Barnum Wilson, and others.  Most of these were taken in Connecticut. ","Sheet 4 contains various photographs of Wilson when he took a trip to France with his family in 1932.","Includes voting cards for editor of the \"The University of Virginia Magazine,\" report cards, registration cards, lists of classes taken, and a copy of his graduation certificate.","Copies of publishedd material transferred to Rare Books include three books by Wilson, \"The Township Line\" (1919), \"Pok O' Moonshine\" (1927) and \"Higher Than the Wind Can Blow\" (1934).","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MSS .16340","Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","Previous Archival Resource Key","/repositories/3/resources/997"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"collection_title_tesim":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"collection_ssim":["Albert Frederick Wilson papers"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["This collection was given to the University of Virginia Special Collections Library by Dr. Timothy D.

Wilson describes his boarding experience with a doctor's family, who he was surprised to discover were Baptists and \"very religious (quite a novelty here)\" (September 17, 1903).

Frederick mentions several well known figures at the University of Virginia. This includes Edwin A. Alderman, the first president of the University of Virginia. He briefly mentions Alderman's selection as president (October 9, 1904). Another person he mentioned was Professor Kent, who was an English professor at the University. Frederick and Professor Kent worked together closely, and Kent is referenced in many of Wilson's letters while at the University. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e A letter written around November 25, 1904, describes Wilson finding a drunken student in the snow who had fallen and broken his ankle. Wilson helped him back to his rooms at Dawson's Row .\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWilson became a member of the Editorial Review Board (January 1-2, 1905). There are a lot of references in 1905 to a songbook A. Frederick had been trying to write and sell to groups or at events around grounds and he received the support of Dr. Kent for publishing the songbook (January 27, February 26, and November 3, 5, and 8, 1905). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWilson mentions correcting the proof of his essay for publication and reading one of his poems before Dr. Kent, who liked the poem (April 7, 1905).

Frederick Wilson became known as a writer in the University of Virginia community. Wilson appeared twice in the \"Corks and Curls,\" the annual yearbook at the University of Virginia which began in 1888. This yearbook published different student creative works, including poems, short stories and cartoons (May 16, 1905). He was also heavily involved with the editing staff of the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" as an Associate Editor. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eHe mentions that the Editor in Chief, William McCulley James, went missing temporarily from the University and he had to locate the proof of the magazine, correct it and send it back to the publishers in two days (May 23, 1905). James continued as Editor in Chief through the spring of 1906. A. Frederick Wilson became the Editor in Chief the fall of 1906. Wilson had high hopes of receiving one of the medals for his literary work, which he apparently did (June 10, 15, 1905).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eA. Frederick was also involved with the Glee club in 1905. He described the preparation and surrounding events for the inauguration of President Alderman, which included a procession of students, alumni, visiting professors and university presidents, the Alderman family, and then the Governor and Alderman. Wilson mentions that he marched with the Glee Club in this procession (April 17, 1905).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eA. Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLetters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906). He also used the songbook in the Glee Club events to promote its sale(November 2, 1906).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eA. Frederick was involved in several other extracurricular activities this year. He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906). He writes that the magazine got first place in college magazines for 1906 (November 2, 1906). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eHe considered getting involved with a fraternity called Alpha Delta Phi, which is still currently active at the University of Virginia.  Apparently Dr. Kent had close connections to this fraternity and wished that A. Frederick would join it. The cost to be in the fraternity was twenty dollars at the time which he was unwilling or unable to pay (November 30, 1906).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eA. Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A. Frederick mentions that he was forced to pay a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a receipt for this has survived (October 18, 1906).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThere is also a reference to an African American woman in one of his letters. The room he received when he returned to the University of Virginia had bedbugs in it, so they sent for the woman to come and clean it before he moved in (November 9, 1906).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1907, A. Frederick was very active with the Glee Club. In one letter, he mentions that the Glee club got its name from an older club that had formed in the University of Virginia in 1888 (April 22, 1907). He writes that the Glee Club would be giving their first concert in February (January 27, 1907). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eOn March 11, 1907, he also mentions the itinerary for the upcoming Glee Club trip in April, chiefly in Virginia. Starting on April 4th, they were going to sing at Sweet Briar College, Lynchburg Woman's College and Roanoke where they would be performing in two places, a girl's school and a theatre. Then they went to Danville, Virginia, Washington,D.C. and finally, performed two concerts in Richmond and two in Norfolk (March 11, 1907). \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn a letter on April 8th, he mentions the Glee club performed at a theater in Staunton, attended by students from Mary Baldwin College. There is a small newspaper clipping about the performance at Rawlins (April 8, 15, 1907).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eA. Frederick continued his involvment in other extracurricular activities as well. A. Frederick became the Editor in Chief of the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" this year.

Frederick became a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (January 18, 1907) and wrote a song for one of the banquets they held (January 21, 1907).

Frederick mentions rumors that he was being considered for several honors for his work at the University of Virginia this year, including the Raven Society (January 15, 1907). He also mentions that he won the Edgar Allen Poe award for best short story for \"The Tea Machine\" (June 11, 1907).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eFrederick wrote about a student being dismissed at the University of Virginia by the Honor Committee for breaking the honor code. The student appealed for and got a public trial by a jury of alumni (March 21, 1907). This letter furnishes some insight on the working of the honor system at the time. His letters have several mentions of the baseball season (May 4, 15, 1907).\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1907, A.

","A. Frederick mentions several well known figures at the University of Virginia. This includes Edwin A. Alderman, the first president of the University of Virginia. He briefly mentions Alderman's selection as president (October 9, 1904). Another person he mentioned was Professor Kent, who was an English professor at the University. Frederick and Professor Kent worked together closely, and Kent is referenced in many of Wilson's letters while at the University. "," A letter written around November 25, 1904, describes Wilson finding a drunken student in the snow who had fallen and broken his ankle. Wilson helped him back to his rooms at Dawson's Row .","Wilson became a member of the Editorial Review Board (January 1-2, 1905). There are a lot of references in 1905 to a songbook A. Frederick had been trying to write and sell to groups or at events around grounds and he received the support of Dr. Kent for publishing the songbook (January 27, February 26, and November 3, 5, and 8, 1905). ","Wilson mentions correcting the proof of his essay for publication and reading one of his poems before Dr. Kent, who liked the poem (April 7, 1905). Wilson accompanied the Glee Club on the train to Crozet to perform at the Miller School, a large preparatory school in the Blue Ridge Mountains (January 21, 1905).","Eventually A. Frederick Wilson became known as a writer in the University of Virginia community. Wilson appeared twice in the \"Corks and Curls,\" the annual yearbook at the University of Virginia which began in 1888. This yearbook published different student creative works, including poems, short stories and cartoons (May 16, 1905). He was also heavily involved with the editing staff of the \"University of Virginia Magazine,\" as an Associate Editor. ","He mentions that the Editor in Chief, William McCulley James, went missing temporarily from the University and he had to locate the proof of the magazine, correct it and send it back to the publishers in two days (May 23, 1905). James continued as Editor in Chief through the spring of 1906. A. Frederick Wilson became the Editor in Chief the fall of 1906. Wilson had high hopes of receiving one of the medals for his literary work, which he apparently did (June 10, 15, 1905).","A. Frederick was also involved with the Glee club in 1905. He described the preparation and surrounding events for the inauguration of President Alderman, which included a procession of students, alumni, visiting professors and university presidents, the Alderman family, and then the Governor and Alderman. Wilson mentions that he marched with the Glee Club in this procession (April 17, 1905).","A. Frederick's letters also mention various roles that African Americans filled on grounds during the early twentieth century and his own involvement with them this year. Some of these letters use offensive and racist language. Wilson mentions that an African American man delivered a surprise Valentine box from his folks (February 17, 1905).  Wilson also searched for the music used in a popular but demeaning minstrel song that was also used in several other songs in Virginia, which he wanted to include in his songbook (March 10, 1905). He also mentions hiring an African American man to press his new suit before the inauguration of Alderman. When he did not return it to him by the morning of the inauguration, Wilson tracked him down in a panic and found him inebriated on a side street. After Wilson threatened physical violence, the older man finally located the clothes in a pool room unharmed (April 17, 1905).","Letters from 1906 have additional mentions of the songbook that he was attempting to publish. In one, he sends the songbook to an editor in January and attempts to get it published; however, he refuses to put any money down for it. The editor tells him he must help pay for it, especially because it is a college book (January 19, 1906). He eventually does get it published and shipped to him with the title \"Songs of the University of Virginia\" (March 16, 1906; May 25, 27, 1906). ","Wilson mentions that he gave President Alderman one of his  songbooks, and Alderman praised it during a meeting of the entire student body where  Alderman also discussed the new Carnegie pipe organ soon to be completed in Cabell Hall (October 30, 1906). He also used the songbook in the Glee Club events to promote its sale(November 2, 1906).","A. Frederick was involved in several other extracurricular activities this year. He attended baseball games against Yale which the University of Virginia won (April 19, 1906) and Princeton which game they lost (April 13, 1906). He was also still working with the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" editorial team and became Editor in Chief (June 10, 1906). He writes that the magazine got first place in college magazines for 1906 (November 2, 1906). ","He considered getting involved with a fraternity called Alpha Delta Phi, which is still currently active at the University of Virginia.  Apparently Dr. Kent had close connections to this fraternity and wished that A. Frederick would join it. The cost to be in the fraternity was twenty dollars at the time which he was unwilling or unable to pay (November 30, 1906).","A. Frederick Wilson refers to his work teaching at the University, probably his Teaching Assistant position with Dr. Kent (October 1, 1906). A. Frederick mentions that he was forced to pay a matriculation fee of ten dollars and a receipt for this has survived (October 18, 1906).","There is also a reference to an African American woman in one of his letters. The room he received when he returned to the University of Virginia had bedbugs in it, so they sent for the woman to come and clean it before he moved in (November 9, 1906).","In 1907, A. Frederick was very active with the Glee Club. In one letter, he mentions that the Glee club got its name from an older club that had formed in the University of Virginia in 1888 (April 22, 1907). He writes that the Glee Club would be giving their first concert in February (January 27, 1907). ","On March 11, 1907, he also mentions the itinerary for the upcoming Glee Club trip in April, chiefly in Virginia. Starting on April 4th, they were going to sing at Sweet Briar College, Lynchburg Woman's College and Roanoke where they would be performing in two places, a girl's school and a theatre. Then they went to Danville, Virginia, Washington,D.C. and finally, performed two concerts in Richmond and two in Norfolk (March 11, 1907). ","In a letter on April 8th, he mentions the Glee club performed at a theater in Staunton, attended by students from Mary Baldwin College. There is a small newspaper clipping about the performance at Rawlins (April 8, 15, 1907).","A. Frederick continued his involvment in other extracurricular activities as well. A. Frederick became the Editor in Chief of the \"University of Virginia Magazine\" this year. He mentions that his  publications in the magazine had brought him a good deal of fame on grounds (April 27, 1907). ","A. Frederick became a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (January 18, 1907) and wrote a song for one of the banquets they held (January 21, 1907). He also describes the \"annual spring goating\" or initiation activities of one of the law fraternities, including a mock court on the Rotunda steps (April 1, 1907)","A. Frederick mentions rumors that he was being considered for several honors for his work at the University of Virginia this year, including the Raven Society (January 15, 1907). He also mentions that he won the Edgar Allen Poe award for best short story for \"The Tea Machine\" (June 11, 1907).","Frederick wrote about a student being dismissed at the University of Virginia by the Honor Committee for breaking the honor code. The student appealed for and got a public trial by a jury of alumni (March 21, 1907). This letter furnishes some insight on the working of the honor system at the time. His letters have several mentions of the baseball season (May 4, 15, 1907).","In the summer of 1907, A. Frederick talks about  his upcoming camping trip with the Flanagans and a group of friends in the mountains, at Sugar Hollow near Moorman's River, Albemarle County, Virginia (May 16, 1907; June 6, 11, 18, 1907).","Prior to 1883, Albert Sherwood Wilson was the principal of a school in Bridgeport, Connecticut for over 20 years. In 1883, he taught first grade at Glen Cove Long Island, New York, where he eventually became principal.  In one letter, June 28, 1889, he mentions Albert Barnum Wilson, who was the father of Albert Frederick Wilson. Albert Barnum Wilson was teaching in Newark, New Jersey and was a principal of one of the schools there during this time. Albert Sherwood Wilson had moved to Newark due to this and obtained a current certificate qualifying him to teach in New Jersey. Also present is a note of thanks to Wilson for his work as Chorister at his church.","Works include \"Pok O' Moonshine\" and \"The Township Line.\"","His children include Geoffrey, Sloan, and Sherwood.","On printed stationery for the International Press Exhibition, American Committee, Lee's letter mentions a nice review for one of Wilson's books by Helen Parsons who covers the theater for \"Long Island Life\" and was an old student of theirs.","Photographs include images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor at New York University's School of Journalism. One of these images includes him on a horse in New Canaan, Connecticut and another of him at his summer home in Ticonderoga, New York. There is also an image of multiple people on a ship in this folder. In 1932, Wilson and his family went to France for a year. H.G. Wells was allegedly on their ship, and we have a photograph of the entire group of passengers, so presumably this included Wells as one of the people in this photograph.","Albert is also portrayed with his family circa 1930 in a location called Ormond Beach, Florida. This was the location of one of Ruth's homes and was a well-known house in Florida, once being owned by John D. Rockefeller. ","Sheet 1 contains many images of the family when they went to France for a year in 1932. There are also various photographs of A. Frederick Wilson taken in locations such as Rogers Rock, Lake George, New York, where he died in 1940; Daytona Beach,Florida, where Wilson and his family had moved; and other locations. There are also a few images of Wilson and his children when he was a professor. ","Sheet 2 contains many images of A. Frederick Wilson when he was a professor. Many of these images are taken in various locations in New York as well as in Florida. There are images of his wife, Ruth, and his children including Geoffrey Wilson, Mary Sherwood Wilson and Sloan Wilson. ","Sheet 3 contains images of Wilson's ancestors including his mother Mary, his great-grandfather, Robert Wilson, his great-aunt and uncle, Amelia Greene and George Greene, his father Albert Barnum Wilson, and others.  Most of these were taken in Connecticut. ","Sheet 4 contains various photographs of Wilson when he took a trip to France with his family in 1932.","Includes voting cards for editor of the \"The University of Virginia Magazine,\" report cards, registration cards, lists of classes taken, and a copy of his graduation certificate."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCopies of publishedd material transferred to Rare Books include three books by Wilson, \"The Township Line\" (1919), \"Pok O' Moonshine\" (1927) and \"Higher Than the Wind Can Blow\" (1934).\u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["Copies of publishedd material transferred to Rare Books include three books by Wilson, \"The Township Line\" (1919), \"Pok O' Moonshine\" (1927) and \"Higher Than the Wind Can Blow\" (1934)."],"names_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library"],"corpname_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":19,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-05-20T23:52:44.752Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_repositories_3_resources_997"}},{"id":"wvmturhc_repositories_2_resources_4270","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"Albert M.

He married Caroline Augusta Cabell and after her death, Sarah Randolph Cabell. He was the author of The Genesis of the United States, The First Republic in America, The Cabells and Their Kin and other works.","See also Alexander Brown Papers (I) and Cabell-Brown Letters, Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary."," Papers of Alexander Brown relating to the writings of his books, including notes, transcripts, drafts and correspondence with publisher Houghton, Mifflin \u0026 Co. and with members of his family requesting genealogical information."," Collection includes letters of Benson J.

The current location of many of these sources is unknown. Some of the records were public, some may have been documents that he owned or to which he had access at that time. "," The document has value because it may provide a researcher with a clue to use in genealogy research but will need to do their own investigation into extant records.","These letters are alphabetically arranged, and then chronologically within each group. There are some pieces concerning the Cabells and their kin, but most of these letters bear on Brown's most substantial work, \"The Genesis of the United States.\" Correspondence with Houghton Mifflin (his publisher) is well-represented. A minority of pieces bear on Brown's personal business transactions, chiefly real estate. However, this section contains little of a personal nature; there are no letters from either of his wives and such letters that come to him from relatives seem to have been inspired by Brown's request for data of the family.","Items include a letter, 11 December 1890, from Charles Kendell Adams while he was President of Cornell University.","Includes 3 letters, dated 9 December 1890, 19 December 1890, and 6 July 1891, from James Phinney Baxter about their historical researches; letter 5 January 1891, from William Cabell Brown at the Theological Seminary, Fairfax Co., Va.; and letter 9 May 1893, from Philip A. Bruce, Corresponding Secretary, Virginia Historical Society.","Letters from members of the Cabell family, mostly replies to Brown's requests for information about the family.","Letters from the Rev. B.F. Cabell, President of the Potter College for Young Ladies, about Cabell family history.","Letters from William D. Cabell from the Norwood Institute, a Select Boarding School for Girls, Washington, D.C.","Letters from Asa D. Dickinson from Springfield, Prince George County, Virginia, about the Cabell family genealogy.","Letters from correspondents, including genealogical information regarding the Eldridge family.","These letters contain notes and records by Brown or one of his correspondents and letters supplying data for the Cabells and Their Kin. The folders are arranged alphabetically by the name of the family.","This section differs from the preceeding series in that it comes in the form of notes, transcripts, and drafts; there is no correspondence as such.

Quaker farmers from Dutchess County, New York, the Haights moved to Sully at the urging of Jacob, who delighted in the milder climate and extensive farm land, which they enhanced with lime and guano fertilizers. In 1845, Alexander married Phebe Sweet (1824-1898), and in 1851 they finished building their new home, \"Little Sully,\" on Haight property just south of the main Sully house.","The effects of the Civil War on daily life in Northern Virginia are evident from the personal letters and military documents that have been preserved. Phebe and her sister-in-law, Maria Haight Barlow, were left to defend their homes when Jacob and Alexander were forced to flee to Alexandria and Washington to avoid incoming Confederate troops who suspected the Haights of being Union sympathizers. The Haights did, in fact, support the Union, and toward the end of the war Alexander Haight joined the Union Army.","Many of the documents in this collection indicate something of the precarious position in which the Haights were caught during the Civil War. These include receipts for provisions supplied by the Haight farm to both the Union and Confederate armies; a letter from Union Major General Julius Stahel attesting to the good standing of Alexander Haight and ordering the protection of his property by Union troops; and a court memorandum offering the transport of Alexander Haight to and from his trial over the confiscation of property during the war.\n","Alexander Levi Haight (1891-1981), the eponymous donor of this collection, was the son of Henry Clement Haight (1859-1936) and Emma Jane Young (1858-1939) and grandson of Alexander and Phebe Haight of the Civil War period.","Processed by Special Collections and Archives staff.

Haight (1787-1863) and Jacob Haight (1782-1862), lived at Sully Plantation from 1842-1874. Quaker farmers from Dutchess County, New York, the Haights moved to Sully at the urging of Jacob, who delighted in the milder climate and extensive farm land, which they enhanced with lime and guano fertilizers. In 1845, Alexander married Phebe Sweet (1824-1898), and in 1851 they finished building their new home, \"Little Sully,\" on Haight property just south of the main Sully house.","The effects of the Civil War on daily life in Northern Virginia are evident from the personal letters and military documents that have been preserved. Phebe and her sister-in-law, Maria Haight Barlow, were left to defend their homes when Jacob and Alexander were forced to flee to Alexandria and Washington to avoid incoming Confederate troops who suspected the Haights of being Union sympathizers. The Haights did, in fact, support the Union, and toward the end of the war Alexander Haight joined the Union Army.","Many of the documents in this collection indicate something of the precarious position in which the Haights were caught during the Civil War. These include receipts for provisions supplied by the Haight farm to both the Union and Confederate armies; a letter from Union Major General Julius Stahel attesting to the good standing of Alexander Haight and ordering the protection of his property by Union troops; and a court memorandum offering the transport of Alexander Haight to and from his trial over the confiscation of property during the war.\n","Alexander Levi Haight (1891-1981), the eponymous donor of this collection, was the son of Henry Clement Haight (1859-1936) and Emma Jane Young (1858-1939) and grandson of Alexander and Phebe Haight of the Civil War period.","Processed by Special Collections and Archives staff.

In 1842, Jacob and Amy purchased the property known as Sully Plantation in Chantilly, Virginia, which was built by Richard Bland Lee between 1787-1794, and soon after invited Alexander to leave New York and help with the running of the property in Virginia. After moving to Sully, Alexander married Pheobe (also spelled \"Phebe\") Sweet (1824-1898) in 1845 and finished construction of their new home, known as \"Little Sully,\" in 1851. The couple would go on to have four children. Eldest daughter Margaret Amy (also known as Maggie) was born in 1848 and married Thomas W. Lee in 1873, Stephen Sweet was born in 1857 and married Henrietta Lucas in 1891, Henry Clement was born in 1859, and youngest George Alexander was born in 1867.","Despite belonging to the Quaker faith (also known as The Religious Society of Friends), whose members actively fought for abolition, records indicate that the Haight family used enslaved labor during their time at Sully. Ownership of the property remained in the Haight family, although transferring formally to Alexander's sister Maria and her husband James Barlow in 1852, and remained so throughout the Civil War, during which both Union and Confederate soldiers crossed the property. In 1869, the family sold Sully to Stephen Shear, but most members of Alexander and Phoebe's branch of the Haight family remained in and around Fairfax County.","In 1886, Jacob and Amy's son Henry Clement married Emma Jane Young, daughter of Union Soldier John M. Young (1831-1865), and the couple would go on to have four children of their own: Helen Hill (1887-1977), Elizabeth Barlow [later Hamill] (1889-1974), Mary [later Millan] (1890–1964), and Alexander Levi (1891-1981).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff.

In 1842, Jacob and Amy purchased the property known as Sully Plantation in Chantilly, Virginia, which was built by Richard Bland Lee between 1787-1794, and soon after invited Alexander to leave New York and help with the running of the property in Virginia. After moving to Sully, Alexander married Pheobe (also spelled \"Phebe\") Sweet (1824-1898) in 1845 and finished construction of their new home, known as \"Little Sully,\" in 1851. The couple would go on to have four children. Eldest daughter Margaret Amy (also known as Maggie) was born in 1848 and married Thomas W. Lee in 1873, Stephen Sweet was born in 1857 and married Henrietta Lucas in 1891, Henry Clement was born in 1859, and youngest George Alexander was born in 1867.","Despite belonging to the Quaker faith (also known as The Religious Society of Friends), whose members actively fought for abolition, records indicate that the Haight family used enslaved labor during their time at Sully. Ownership of the property remained in the Haight family, although transferring formally to Alexander's sister Maria and her husband James Barlow in 1852, and remained so throughout the Civil War, during which both Union and Confederate soldiers crossed the property. In 1869, the family sold Sully to Stephen Shear, but most members of Alexander and Phoebe's branch of the Haight family remained in and around Fairfax County.","In 1886, Jacob and Amy's son Henry Clement married Emma Jane Young, daughter of Union Soldier John M. Young (1831-1865), and the couple would go on to have four children of their own: Helen Hill (1887-1977), Elizabeth Barlow [later Hamill] (1889-1974), Mary [later Millan] (1890–1964), and Alexander Levi (1891-1981).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff.
