He graduated \n          cum laude , Phi Beta Kappa in 1925\n         from the University of Washington in Seattle and later earned\n         an M.A. (1928) and a Ph.D. (1930) at the University of\n         Pennsylvannia in Philadelphia.","Hale's scholarly research in Europe on diplomacy and the\n         press was pursued in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London,\n         Paris, Berlin, and Munich where he, together with his wife \n          Annette Van Winkle Hale whom he had married on August 7, 1929, experienced firsthand the rise of\n         Hitler and the advent of National Socialism that drove Europe\n         and eventually the United States to war. Hale, commissioned in\n         the rank of Major in 1942, served with the Intelligence\n         Division of the War Department General Staff in Washington and\n         in 1945, with the end of hostilities, participated in a\n         special mission of the War Department's Historical (Shuster)\n         Commission in Germany interrogating the surviving political\n         and military leaders of the defeated Third Reich, including\n         such notables as Goering, Keitel, Doenitz, Ribbentrop,\n         Rosenberg, Ley, Jodl, and von Papen.","Hale's return to Charlottesville in 1946 as Professor of\n         European History was short-lived. In 1950, he was back in\n         Germany to serve first as Deputy Commissioner (to George\n         Shuster) and then as Commissioner for Bavaria under the U.S.\n         High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy, whose task it\n         was to phase out the U.S. military occupation as Germany moved\n         toward the restoration of its sovereignty.","Shortly after resuming his academic career at the\n         University of Virginia (1952), Hale became chairman of the\n         history department (1955-1962) and was instrumental in the\n         development of a special fellowship program and history\n         professorship that led to the appointment of his old friend\n         and former University of Virginia colleague, Dumas Malone to\n         serve as the first holder of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial\n         Foundation chair. Also during this period, Hale helped\n         organize and establish within the \n          Southern Historical Association, the European History Section, which he\n         chaired in 1958-1959 and, within the \n          American Historical Association, the Committee on War Documents which he\n         chaired in 1957 and again in 1964 when it incorporated into\n         the Conference Group for Central European History. A highlight of Hale's involvement with\n         the War Documents Committee was the leadership he provided in\n         the committee's successful effort to have millions of captured\n         Nazi government documents, then stored in the United States,\n         declassified and microfilmed prior to their being returned to\n         the German Federal Republic.","After resigning the department chairmanship in 1962, Hale\n         was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Studies at\n         Princeton, New Jersey (1963-1964) and then served as visiting\n         summer professor at Harvard, Duke, and the Universities of\n         Missouri and North Carolina. In 1965, he became William W.\n         Corcoran Professor of History at the University of Virginia\n         where he continued his work while caring for his wife, Anne,\n         until her death in 1968.","Hale was the author of numerous articles, commentaries, and\n         reviews on matters of German history. He was a regular\n         contributor to  The Virginia Quarterly Review,  The Journal of Modern History,  The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, The Journal of Central European Affairs, The American Historical Review,  and  The Richmond Times-Dispatch.  His books include: \n Germany and the Diplomatic Revolution, 1904-1906  (Awarded the \"George Louis Beer\" prize of the\n         American Historical Association in 1931); \n Publicity and Diplomacy, 1890-1914  (1940); \n The Captive Press in the Third Reich  \n(Winner of the \"Polk Award\" in journalism in 1964);\n         and  The Great Illusion, 1900-1914  (published as part of the William L. Langer, series, \n Rise of Modern Europe,  1971).","In recognition of his academic achievements and government\n         service, Hale received the Outstanding Civilian Award from the\n         U.S. Department of the Army, 1964; the Commander's Cross of\n         the Order of Merit of the German Federal Republic, 1969; the\n         Thomas Jefferson Award from the University of Virginia, 1969;\n         an honorary Litt.D. from Hampden-Sydney College, 1958; and in\n         1986, a \"Festschrift\" of original essays published in his\n         honor by his former graduate students.","In July 1970, Hale remarried to a long time friend, \n          Virginia Zehmer. Despite a stroke\n         suffered in 1973 and the implantation of a pacemaker, Hale\n         kept busy in retirement traveling, hunting, playing golf,\n         refurbishing ancestral gravesites, and being involved in the\n         social activities at his residence community in Richmond. In\n         his late years, he again devoted himself to the care of his\n         wife, Virginia, who died in 1989--three years before he was to\n         succumb on July 19, 1991. He is buried in the University of\n         Virginia Cemetery in Charlottesville.","The collection contains ca. 18,000 items (15 shelf feet)\n         and consists of personal letters, office correspondence, and\n         records relating to Hale's academic activities and\n         associations; declassified copies of intelligence reports and\n         data, together with routine correspondence, memoranda, and\n         administrative documents affiliated with his government\n         service in Germany; manuscript drafts and copies of\n         his published writings; genealogical data; photographs (ca.\n         2000 items) of family members, friends, and travel scenery;\n         and personal miscellanea.","Interesting documents within the collection groupings\n         include: (I) \n          Correspondence : Hale's 1945\n         letters to his wife reporting on the aftermath of \n          Germany's defeat in his vivid\n         descriptions of the devastation of cities and towns they had\n         lived in or had visited before the war and of the suffering\n         being experienced by their old friends and colleagues. (II) \n          Academia : A series of \"Oral\n         History\" interviews that Hale gave to \n          Charles Moran of the University of\n         Virginia in 1976 that focus on his academic career and his\n         government service and that reflect on the historically\n         dramatic events with which he was involved. (III) \n          Government Service : Copies of the\n          U.S. War Department 's 1945 interrogation\n         reports of high-ranking former German officials (some 22 of\n         whom Hale interviewed) who set forth, from their personal\n         perspectives, fascinating accounts and analyses about the war,\n         its conduct, Hitler's leadership, and the reasons for\n         Germany's defeat; State (Land) Commissioner of Bavaria office\n         documents of the period 1950-1952 that give some flavor of\n         Hale's role in implementing the United States policy of\n         introducing and nurturing democratic concepts among the\n         defeated German populace. (IV) \n          Publications : German documents\n         that served as a basis for published articles by Hale that include\n         a copy of an memorandum regarding the biological future of the\n         German people written by Martin Bormann, Nazi leader and Hitler's\n         private sectretary; a 1923 copy of a letter of admonishment to Adolf Hitler from \n          Gottfried Feder, Nazi Party economist;\n         and photostatic copies of Hitler's tax returns which had been\n         maintained in the Munich Finance Office from 1925-1935 and\n         which were later part of the documents seized by the Allies\n         during the war. (VII) \n          Miscellany : Anne Hale's diary of\n         pre-war Germany in which she records the attitudes and\n         behavior of the German people in the period of rising Nazi\n         power; memorabilia that include copies of Nazi SS\n         documents pertaining to some of the security measures taken to\n         protect Hitler following the assassination attempt on his life\n         of July 20, 1940; a copy of a 1947 letter that \n          Rudolph Hess wrote to his sister from his\n         jail cell; and a variety of documents and letters bearing\n         original and facsimile signatures, including those of Hitler, \n          Ribbentrop, \n          Albert Einstein, and \n          Robert Oppenheimer .","Includes  Sicherung der Zukunft des Deutschen Volkes,  by Martin Bormann.\n\t","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","English"],"unitid_tesim":["12800"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Oron J.

Hale, commissioned in\n         the rank of Major in 1942, served with the Intelligence\n         Division of the War Department General Staff in Washington and\n         in 1945, with the end of hostilities, participated in a\n         special mission of the War Department's Historical (Shuster)\n         Commission in Germany interrogating the surviving political\n         and military leaders of the defeated Third Reich, including\n         such notables as Goering, Keitel, Doenitz, Ribbentrop,\n         Rosenberg, Ley, Jodl, and von Papen.","Hale's return to Charlottesville in 1946 as Professor of\n         European History was short-lived. In 1950, he was back in\n         Germany to serve first as Deputy Commissioner (to George\n         Shuster) and then as Commissioner for Bavaria under the U.S.\n         High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy, whose task it\n         was to phase out the U.S. military occupation as Germany moved\n         toward the restoration of its sovereignty.","Shortly after resuming his academic career at the\n         University of Virginia (1952), Hale became chairman of the\n         history department (1955-1962) and was instrumental in the\n         development of a special fellowship program and history\n         professorship that led to the appointment of his old friend\n         and former University of Virginia colleague, Dumas Malone to\n         serve as the first holder of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial\n         Foundation chair. Also during this period, Hale helped\n         organize and establish within the \n          Southern Historical Association, the European History Section, which he\n         chaired in 1958-1959 and, within the \n          American Historical Association, the Committee on War Documents which he\n         chaired in 1957 and again in 1964 when it incorporated into\n         the Conference Group for Central European History. A highlight of Hale's involvement with\n         the War Documents Committee was the leadership he provided in\n         the committee's successful effort to have millions of captured\n         Nazi government documents, then stored in the United States,\n         declassified and microfilmed prior to their being returned to\n         the German Federal Republic.","After resigning the department chairmanship in 1962, Hale\n         was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Studies at\n         Princeton, New Jersey (1963-1964) and then served as visiting\n         summer professor at Harvard, Duke, and the Universities of\n         Missouri and North Carolina. In 1965, he became William W.\n         Corcoran Professor of History at the University of Virginia\n         where he continued his work while caring for his wife, Anne,\n         until her death in 1968.","Hale was the author of numerous articles, commentaries, and\n         reviews on matters of German history. He was a regular\n         contributor to  The Virginia Quarterly Review,  The Journal of Modern History,  The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, The Journal of Central European Affairs, The American Historical Review,  and  The Richmond Times-Dispatch.  His books include: \n Germany and the Diplomatic Revolution, 1904-1906  (Awarded the \"George Louis Beer\" prize of the\n         American Historical Association in 1931); \n Publicity and Diplomacy, 1890-1914  (1940); \n The Captive Press in the Third Reich  \n(Winner of the \"Polk Award\" in journalism in 1964);\n         and  The Great Illusion, 1900-1914  (published as part of the William L. Langer, series, \n Rise of Modern Europe,  1971).","In recognition of his academic achievements and government\n         service, Hale received the Outstanding Civilian Award from the\n         U.S. Department of the Army, 1964; the Commander's Cross of\n         the Order of Merit of the German Federal Republic, 1969; the\n         Thomas Jefferson Award from the University of Virginia, 1969;\n         an honorary Litt.D. from Hampden-Sydney College, 1958; and in\n         1986, a \"Festschrift\" of original essays published in his\n         honor by his former graduate students.","In July 1970, Hale remarried to a long time friend, \n          Virginia Zehmer. Despite a stroke\n         suffered in 1973 and the implantation of a pacemaker, Hale\n         kept busy in retirement traveling, hunting, playing golf,\n         refurbishing ancestral gravesites, and being involved in the\n         social activities at his residence community in Richmond. In\n         his late years, he again devoted himself to the care of his\n         wife, Virginia, who died in 1989--three years before he was to\n         succumb on July 19, 1991. He is buried in the University of\n         Virginia Cemetery in Charlottesville."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOron J.

He graduated \n          cum laude , Phi Beta Kappa in 1925\n         from the University of Washington in Seattle and later earned\n         an M.A. (1928) and a Ph.D. (1930) at the University of\n         Pennsylvannia in Philadelphia.","Hale's scholarly research in Europe on diplomacy and the\n         press was pursued in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London,\n         Paris, Berlin, and Munich where he, together with his wife \n          Annette Van Winkle Hale whom he had married on August 7, 1929, experienced firsthand the rise of\n         Hitler and the advent of National Socialism that drove Europe\n         and eventually the United States to war. Hale, commissioned in\n         the rank of Major in 1942, served with the Intelligence\n         Division of the War Department General Staff in Washington and\n         in 1945, with the end of hostilities, participated in a\n         special mission of the War Department's Historical (Shuster)\n         Commission in Germany interrogating the surviving political\n         and military leaders of the defeated Third Reich, including\n         such notables as Goering, Keitel, Doenitz, Ribbentrop,\n         Rosenberg, Ley, Jodl, and von Papen.","Hale's return to Charlottesville in 1946 as Professor of\n         European History was short-lived. In 1950, he was back in\n         Germany to serve first as Deputy Commissioner (to George\n         Shuster) and then as Commissioner for Bavaria under the U.S.\n         High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy, whose task it\n         was to phase out the U.S. military occupation as Germany moved\n         toward the restoration of its sovereignty.","Shortly after resuming his academic career at the\n         University of Virginia (1952), Hale became chairman of the\n         history department (1955-1962) and was instrumental in the\n         development of a special fellowship program and history\n         professorship that led to the appointment of his old friend\n         and former University of Virginia colleague, Dumas Malone to\n         serve as the first holder of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial\n         Foundation chair. Also during this period, Hale helped\n         organize and establish within the \n          Southern Historical Association, the European History Section, which he\n         chaired in 1958-1959 and, within the \n          American Historical Association, the Committee on War Documents which he\n         chaired in 1957 and again in 1964 when it incorporated into\n         the Conference Group for Central European History. A highlight of Hale's involvement with\n         the War Documents Committee was the leadership he provided in\n         the committee's successful effort to have millions of captured\n         Nazi government documents, then stored in the United States,\n         declassified and microfilmed prior to their being returned to\n         the German Federal Republic.","After resigning the department chairmanship in 1962, Hale\n         was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Studies at\n         Princeton, New Jersey (1963-1964) and then served as visiting\n         summer professor at Harvard, Duke, and the Universities of\n         Missouri and North Carolina.

It was founded in 1844 when Jacob Martz deeded a parcel of land in Tenth Legion to be used as the site for a place of worship. A committee of trustees consisting of John Cowan, Jacob Cowan, Martin Martz, Dorilas Martz, and Jackson Martz was then appointed to superintend the building of the church and Jeremiah Clemons, a local stonemason, was chosen for construction. The church was completed in 1845 and the stone church remained the sole house of worship until 1952 when a second church building was constructed.","During the Civil War the church was used to house Confederate prisoners and also as a makeshift military hospital. The structure was badly damaged during the war and was not repaired until the 1880s. Please see the item titled Written Histories, 1948-1995 in the Church History Materials series for a detailed history of the church and the stone structure. After the Civil War the church was used by several different denominations including the Christian Church, the United Brethren in Christ, and the German Baptist Church. The congregation worshipped in the Stone Church until 1952 when a larger brick church was built on the land beside it. In 1981 Bethlehem Stone Church was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register and in 1985 to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008 restoration began to the old stone church and was completed in 2011. The structure is now used for special events.","Acquiring the collection was suggested to Dr. Mark Peterson of James Madison University Special Collections, by Dr. Andrew Witmer, history professor at JMU. Dr. Witmer intended to include the collection in his History Harvest project but was unable to do so because of time constraints. Dr. Peterson contacted the church and, with the help of the church's secretary, gathered the collection for digitization in 2012.","The collection was lent to JMU Special Collections for digitization in 2012 and materials were returned to Bethlehem United Church of Christ in 2013. JMU Special Collections originally digitized the materials and processed the images using Adobe Photoshop Elements. Images were re-processed from 2014-2015 by JMU Digital Collections using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. PDF files were created using Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Please note that the contrast was adjusted on some images to increase the legibility of the original scans. Additionally, some images do not capture the complete content of the item. JMU Digital Collections has made best efforts to provide the clearest and most complete image possible from the original.","Collection was formerly numbered SC 5037.","The Bethlehem Stone Church Records consist of 46 pdf files that conatin scanned images of documents from the church's first year of operation in 1844 through 2011. The records document church business, governance, and day-to-day operations, as well as the history of the church. Materials include meeting minutes, financial records, attendance and membership records, church programming materials, photographs, and scrapbooks. The earliest documents in the collection include a record of the first organization of the church in August of 1844 and a list of original members. Also contained in the collection are materials documenting the activities of the Sunday School as well as the Women's Fellowship, a women's group within the church. Church history materials include scrapbooks as well as written histories that provide details on the institutional history of the church and the Tenth Legion area.","Items in this series consist of ledgers and notebooks that document the administrative functions of the church and span from the earliest written records in 1844 to 1979. The earliest record book, Church Record Book 1, contains documentation of the first organization of the church in August of 1844, and lists the original members separately as male, female, and colored members. Church Record Book 2 contains the copied text of the original deed of Bethlehem Church from September 1844. Materials within this series contain information related to church business including membership lists, records of deaths, names of elected officials, financial records, and meeting minutes. Financial records in this series include accounts of payments made to the pastor's salary and records for various collections taken within the church. Most items have labels taped to the cover of the ledger or notebook that indicate dates and contents. It is unknown when these notes were written, or by whom.","Materials in this series document the functions of the women's group within the church. This group was called Ladies Aid or Ladies Aid Society in the earliest records up to 1959. Beginning in 1960 within their own records and in other records it is called Women's Fellowship or Women's Fellowship Committee. The bulk of the materials in this series are the program booklets from 1965-1974 that list officers and committee members and outline monthly assignments for the year. Also included in this series are meeting minutes from 1936-1976 (not inclusive) that detail the activities of the group and also include some financial records. The notebook titled \"History of Women's Fellowship of Valley of Virginia\" details the history of women's missionary work in the Virginia Valley Central Congregational Christian Conference as well as the history of the Conference in general.","This series documents the organization and activities of the Sunday School of the church. The Sunday School consisted of classes for children and young adults in the church with Bible instruction and singing. In some of the earliest records the school is referred to as Sabbath School, and as \"S. S\" throughout the records. Ledgers include attendance lists and lists of elected officers for the Sunday School Committee as well as record of the activities of each Sunday School meeting, including hymns and Bible readings. Other contents of the ledgers include financial records and lists of literature and materials purchased for the Sunday School. Note that the earliest Sunday School records are located in the Administrative Records series, in Church Record Book 3, 1883-1894.","Materials in this series document the history of the church. Items include scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, typed and hand-written institutional histories of the church, photographs of the church and church members, and church programs. Many of the typed or written histories of the church were compiled for a 150th anniversary celebration of the old stone church held on June 4, 1995. These histories contain information about the history of religious worship in the Tenth Legion area prior to 1844, going back to the early 1700s. There are also genealogical materials relating to the Martz family, who deeded the land for the church in 1844. Other materials also relate to the 1952 construction of a new church building. See item titled Church History, 1944-2011 for a list of church pastors from 1844-2008. Note that there are multiple instances of duplicate materials contained within this series.","The copyright interests in this collection have not been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

A doctoral\n            candidate at the dissertation stage, or other qualified\n            researcher who believes that his or her work requires\n            access to the originals must correspond with the Curator of\n            Manuscripts prior to arrival at the Library to obtain\n            permission for access.","No microfilm, electrostatic, or other types of copies\n            may be made of materials written by William Faulkner that\n            are in our William Faulkner Collections.

Military, 1925-1967. Johnston's association with the U.S. Army is documented in this series. Included are personnel and retirement records, orders, certificates, and printed materials, as well as both official and personal correspondence.

Included are files on Founders Day and the Visiting Scholars Program. A folder of correspondence covers a wide variety of university-related subjects but particularly focuses on Johnston's personal milestones, particularly his 1950 hire as dean of applied science and business administration.

Subject / Correspondence Files, 1904-1993. This series relates mostly to Johnston's literary scholarship, published works, personal relationships, interest in printing and art, and his duties as a faculty member and university administrator. Included are letters, printed materials, and photographs from friends, colleagues, editors, and publishers. Johnston's literary interests included, but were not limited to, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, William Camden, and J. R. R. Tolkien.

The series is arranged alphabetically by correspondent / subject, though materials relating to a single topic may appear in several different folders. Arranged alphabetically by correspondent or subject.","Series V. Microfilm, 1952-1972. This series is comprised of microfilm copies of rare literary works made for Johnston during the course of his research. The series contains selected pages from a number of works from Elizabethan and Stuart England, with a particular focus on poems by Ben Jonson.","George Burke Johnston, the son of George D. and Eleanor McCorvey Johnston, was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on September 8, 1907. After graduating from the University of Alabama (BA, 1929), Johnston obtained his master's and doctoral degrees in English from Columbia University (1930 and 1943, respectively). In 1936, he married Mary Tabb Lancaster (1916-2003), the daughter of Dabney S. Lancaster; the Johnstons would have four children. Johnston served as an English instructor at Virginia Tech from 1930 until 1933, when he returned to the University of Alabama to join the English Department as a professor. ","Johnston became a well known Shakespearean scholar as well as an expert on English dramatist/poet Ben Jonson, about whom he wrote his dissertation and published two books:  Ben Jonson, Poet  (1945) and  The Poems of Ben Jonson  (1955). He held fellowships at Columbia University, Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Southeastern Institute of Medieval and Renaissance Studies.","Johnston's tenure at Alabama was interrupted by World War II, during which he served as a major in the U. S. Army. Following active duty, he returned to Alabama an assistant professor of English before being named assistant dean of arts and sciences. In 1950, he was named dean of applied science and business administration at Virginia Tech. He was appointed dean of science and general studies in 1961, and in 1963 became the first dean of the university's College of Arts and Sciences, a position in which he served until 1966, when he was named C. P. Miles Professor of English. He retired in 1974.","In his later years, Johnston maintained a number of personal interests. He continued to publish books on his interests,  editing  Poems by William Camden  (1975) and writing  Thomas Chalmers McCorvey: Teacher, Poet, Historian  (1985), a biography of his maternal grandfather. Johnston operated a home printing press on which he published his works, issuing them under the name White Rhinoceros Press. He was a skilled artist, working in pencil, paint, clay, and wood; and was licensed as an Epicopal lay minister. George Burke Johnston died on January 1, 1995.","The guide to the G.

S. Army officer. The collection includes typescripts and proof copies of several of Johnston's books, as well as correspondence with editors and publishers relating to same. The correspondence files also include letters exchanged with friends and fellow scholars. Also within the collection are drafts and printed copies of Johnston's shorter works (poems, essays, and book reviews) and copies of works printed by him under his own imprint, White Rhinoceros Press. Johnston's interest in the fine arts is represented in materials relating to theatrical productions and other events, and his military career is documented in a set of files containing personnel records, orders, correspondence, and photographs.","The following items were removed from the collection and cataloged for the Rare Book Collection:","Gridiron Guide .

Military, 1925-1967. Johnston's association with the U.S. Army is documented in this series. Included are personnel and retirement records, orders, certificates, and printed materials, as well as both official and personal correspondence. The photographs in the series relate not only to Johnston's military service but his later attendance as a college administrator visiting ROTC Summer Camp at Fort Meade, Maryland and Fort Knox, Kentucky. Arranged by document type.","Series III. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1930-1989. This series contains materials relating to Johnston's activities at Virginia Tech. Included are files on Founders Day and the Visiting Scholars Program. A folder of correspondence covers a wide variety of university-related subjects but particularly focuses on Johnston's personal milestones, particularly his 1950 hire as dean of applied science and business administration.  The series also contains a folder of materials relating to various Virginia Tech events, including programs for a 1963 football banquet, banquets honoring Harry W. Sanders and Martha G. Creighton, and the inauguration of Virginia Tech President Thomas Marshall Hahn Jr.; dedications of Williams and Randolph halls and Newman Library; texts of speeches delivered by Edward LeRoy Long, Jr. (\"Piety, Moralism, and Vocation\") and Jan Karski (\"The Nature of the Communist Threat\"); and a history of the Division of Arts and Sciences. A small collection of photographs completes the series. ","Series III. Theater and Fine Arts, 1900-1983. This series contains materials relating to Johnston's interest in the arts. Included are promotional materials for theatrical production companies that Johnston was likely instrumental in securing for performances at Virginia Tech. The series also contains events and memorabilia from theatrical and musical productions at Virginia Tech. A folder relating to local and regional fine arts and theater events includes materials about the Barter Theatre, \"The Long Way Home\" outdoor historical drama, the Blacksburg Art Association Festival, and the Blacksburg Music Club. The majority of the series, however, consists of programs from non-local productions. The series also contains a small collection of sheet music. ","Series IV. Subject / Correspondence Files, 1904-1993. This series relates mostly to Johnston's literary scholarship, published works, personal relationships, interest in printing and art, and his duties as a faculty member and university administrator. Included are letters, printed materials, and photographs from friends, colleagues, editors, and publishers. Johnston's literary interests included, but were not limited to, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, William Camden, and J. R. R. Tolkien. (The letters housed in the collection from Tolkien and his daughter Priscilla to Johnston are photocopies only. Special Collections does not hold the original letters.)  A single folder bearing Johnston's name contains a few pieces of biographical material, photographs, and a number of sketches and small watercolors executed by him. The series is arranged alphabetically by correspondent / subject, though materials relating to a single topic may appear in several different folders. Arranged alphabetically by correspondent or subject.","Series V. Microfilm, 1952-1972. This series is comprised of microfilm copies of rare literary works made for Johnston during the course of his research. The series contains selected pages from a number of works from Elizabethan and Stuart England, with a particular focus on poems by Ben Jonson."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGeorge Burke Johnston, the son of George D. and Eleanor McCorvey Johnston, was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on September 8, 1907.

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

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

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

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

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

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

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944.

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

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

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