Because of the number of correspondents and the lack of additional biographical materials, any information located during processing is described in the individual series in the scope and content note. Additionally, the collection arrived containing letters predating and unrelated to World War II, many lacking names, dates, or other identifying information, as well as a few items of unrelated ephemera. Taken individually or as a whole, the World War II letters in this collection provide intimate access to the lives and experiences of several individuals throughout the course of the war.","The collection arrived as a single unit of materials mixed together. The processor decided to separate into individual correspondents and organize the collection by correspondent and then chronologically.","Processed by Lynda Kachurek.","MS-8 World War I \u0026 II Pamphlets Collection.","Series I, George \u0026 Mary (Zyla) Orlikowski Letters, contains over 230 letters written by George Orlikowski to his girlfriend, and later wife, Mary Zyla Orlikowski. Dating between July 1942 and March 1945, the series traces Orlikowski's wartime activities as well as what was happening on the home front. Family concerns and military life dominate the writings, but they also offer views into larger wartime concerns of both military and life on the home front.  Additionally, there are many examples of humorous envelopes and letterhead. In one letter from December 1944, as George's unit is preparing to ship out to the Pacific, he creates a code based on his salutations so that Mary can track his location without the censor's knowledge. Overall, these letters create a nearly complete and compelling story of a Midwestern couple during World War II.","Series II, Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham Letters, contains 152 letters written to Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham between 1941 and 1944 from a variety of correspondents. A student at Millsaps College at the time, Dorothy lived in Jackson, Mississippi. Between 1943 and 1945, Millsaps was home to the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which may help explain how she connected with many of her letter writers. One notable correspondent is Jack Devore Dunn, whose 52 letters include information about his service with the Army Air Corps South Pacific campaign, including his participation with his B-26 crew in the Battle of Midway. Dunn received both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are also 9 letters from Jack's mother, Mrs. Betty Uhlorn. Other correspondents included men serving in the Naval Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Army. Overall, the letters in this series offer a wide-ranging and diverse perspective on military service throughout World War II as well as a sense of what life on the home-front was like for a female college student. Raynham married William C. Fullilove on June 6, 1944, and died in October 1967.","Series III, Parrish Family Letters, contains 88 letters from and about the W.R. Parrish family of North Carolina. Beginning in 1914, the correspondence runs through the end of 1943, with some gaps in the timeline.  Many of the letters are written from W.R. Parrish or his daughter, \"Lib\" to Lillian [Mrs. W.R.] Parrish, and cover business concerns, family life, and some coverage of the war in letters from the wartime years.","Series IV, Walter \"Wally\" and Ann Wrobel Letters, contains 109 letters primarily from Wally Wrobel, with some from his wife, Ann, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wrobel, of Chicago, Illinois. Beginning in August 1943, when Wrobel was a private in the U.S. Army stationed at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, the letters follow his career across several different locations where, occasionally, Ann was able to join him. Many of the letters focus on the home front, discussing his parents' lives as well as things going on with his wife and, eventually, his young daughter. Early in 1944, his correspondence switches as his military activities increase and by Fall 1944, he makes brief mentions of being near New Guinea and later the Philippines. He occasionally mentions battles or other military activities, but usually his correspondence is more about the weather or activities at home. The last letter in the series was written on May 13, 1945, just one day before, according to military records, he died in action on May 14.","Series V, Other World War II Letters, contains three smaller sets of unrelated correspondence concerning World War II. The first set contains 92 letters written by Paul Dobin to Charlotte Gibbs. Between March 1 and July 23, 1944, he wrote nearly every day, talking of his life in the Navy as well as encouraging her in schoolwork, family matters, and eventually planning their wedding. Further research showed that Gibbs and her family were German Jewish immigrants having arrived in the United States in 1934. The second set of letters were written by Davis Lee, serving in the Navy, to his wife, Georgia, of Martinsville, Virginia, between mid-November 1944 and January 1945. Most of the 11 letters are trying to arrange plans for a furlough visit and telling how much he misses her. The third set contains 7 letters from Private Ray Trapp to his parents, Mr. \u0026 Mrs. Ray Trapp of Berea, Ohio, in April and May 1945, describing his activities during the end of the war in Germany.","Series VI, Other Letters, contains 26 folders of letters unrelated to World War II. Dating between 1857 and 1947, these often single letters contain a wide variety of information, including business advertisements, wedding announcements, and general correspondence from many areas. One of the more intriguing sets can be found in Box 2, File 16, which contains 3 letters from a Dutch Navy officer, known only as John/Jake, to Frances Pogue of Cincinnati, Ohio. Written while at sea in 1916 and later from his hospital bed in 1918, the author talks of books read and his experiences during the Great War. Box 2, File 29, may also be of interest as it contains a handwritten advertisement for a wife by an unknown male.","Series VII, Ephemera, contains 3 folders of items that are not correspondence. The first is a Latin notebook, which also contains newspaper clippings about London society. The second and third contain photographic materials.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.  Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","This collection contains more than 700 letters, the vast majority dating to World War II between 1940 and 1945. Each of the first five series deal with numerous letters to/from a primary correspondent, whether husband and wife, family members, or varying levels of acquaintance that date between 1940 and 1945. The final two series contain correspondence and ephemera unrelated to World War II that was included in the collection when purchased.","University of Richmond","English\n      Latin"],"collection_title_tesim":["World War II Correspondence Collection, 1857/1966, bulk 1940/1945"],"collection_ssim":["World War II Correspondence Collection, 1857/1966, bulk 1940/1945"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["MS-32","/repositories/4/resources/38"],"unitid_tesim":["MS-32","/repositories/4/resources/38"],"repository_ssm":["University of Richmond"],"repository_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"creators_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"access_terms_ssm":["Copyright restrictions may apply.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both. Included in these books are several written by the poets represented in the Gresham Correspondence Collection: Enid Starkie's Arthur Rimbaud, Andre Gide, and Baudelaire; John Gassner's The Theater in Our Times and Masters of the Drama; W.H. Auden's The Collected Poetry of W.H. Auden, The Shield of Achilles, Nones, and The Age of Anxiety; Marianne Moore's The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore; Muriel Rukeyser's Selected Poems; and W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's Journey to a War. In addition to the many books donated, the family also donated Gresham's collection of incunabula leaves (see MS-11 Gresham Incunabula Leaves Collection).","Enid Starkie (1897-1970) was born in Ireland and studied in both Ireland and England. She was an author of biographies and taught modern languages at the University of Oxford, University of Exeter, and Hollins College (now Hollins University).","John Gassner (1903-1967) was born in Hungary and lived in New York. He attended Columbia University, receiving his Masters. He taught at Labor Temple School (1925-1927), Columbia University, Hunter College (1928-1945), and Bryn Mawr College (1941-1943). Gassner was a playwright and wrote for several magazines, including the New York Times Book Review.","Wystan Hugh Auden – better known as W.H. Auden – (1907-1973) was from England and emigrated to the United States during WWII (1939). He was a playwright and an author of poetry. Most of his poems were of a political and moral nature. During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Anxiety; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright. In addition, Guest also wrote art reviews for magazines, such as Art News and Art in America. Guest graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley and lived in New York. Among the awards Guest won during her lifetime, include the Lawrence Lipton Award for Literature (1990) and the Robert Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement from Poetry Society of America (1999).","Marianne Moore (1887-1972) was an American poet known for her diverse writings. Moore grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909. She lived in New York with her mother throughout her life. The literary community viewed her as an \"auntie figure\" and a mentor. During her lifetime, Moore won many awards: Levinson Prize from Poetry Magazine (1932), Pulitzer Prize for Collected Poems (1951), and gold medals from Poetry Society of America (1960 \u0026 1967).","Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and political activist. She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal Student Review with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain. Rukeyser was frequently involved with political activism and was an advocate against inhumanity. She taught at Sarah Lawrence College in 1946 and 1956-1967. She spoke several languages, including French, Spanish, Swedish, and Italian and enjoyed translating poems in these languages. Among her many awards are the Oscar Blumethal Prize in poetry (1940), Harriet Monroe Poetry Award (1941), and the Levinson Prize in poetry (1947). \nPaul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947. He was a classmate of William Dew Gresham's. Duke wrote a sports column during his time at the university.

The majority of the correspondences are replies to Gresham's invitations to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia. Some of the correspondence Gresham saved was not written by him or to him. The collection also houses several programs, pamphlets, and newspaper articles that support Gresham's dedication and love of literature and culture.","Series I, Gresham Correspondence, includes correspondence between William Gresham and several poets. The letters are regarding Gresham's invitations for various poets to speak for the Poetry Society of Virginia in Williamsburg, Virginia. May Sarton spoke for the organization on May 14, 1960. Most of her letters are regarding her travel arrangements.","Series II, Pamphlets, Writings, and Newspaper Clippings, contains several personal keepsakes, most notably, a poem written by Gresham, two booklets – one autographed by Pearl S. Buck and the other by Art Buchwald – and a Christmas poem written by May Sarton.","Series III, Other Correspondence, comprises correspondence that did not include Gresham. One letter in particular was a thank you note from the poet George Dillon to Gresham's wife Nancy. The last item in the series is a payment note for a cab in Richmond; however, there does not appear to be any connection to Gresham himself and was written over twenty years before Gresham's birth.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from University of Richmond in 1948 and went on to receive a degree in Divinity from Harvard in 1952 and a degree in Library Science from Columbia in 1955. In 1956, Gresham was an assistant librarian in the Boatwright Memorial Library. During his time at the library, Gresham founded a literature society entitled Great Books of Richmond. Gresham moved to Wilmington, Delaware, working in the field of public education from 1959-1985. Public education suited Gresham, as he loved to share what he learned from his wide variety of books, plays, travels, and lectures that he attended. Gresham was a voracious reader who felt that books were the best way to record history, culture, and traditions. His taste in books included literature, poetry, non-fiction, travel, and history. He also enjoyed books written by authors around the world, most notably Greek, Russian, French, and Spanish. Boatwright Memorial Library has a significant collection of his books that were donated by Gresham's family upon his passing. Among these books are first editions and signed copies, many of which are both. Included in these books are several written by the poets represented in the Gresham Correspondence Collection: Enid Starkie's Arthur Rimbaud, Andre Gide, and Baudelaire; John Gassner's The Theater in Our Times and Masters of the Drama; W.H. Auden's The Collected Poetry of W.H. Auden, The Shield of Achilles, Nones, and The Age of Anxiety; Marianne Moore's The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore; Muriel Rukeyser's Selected Poems; and W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood's Journey to a War. In addition to the many books donated, the family also donated Gresham's collection of incunabula leaves (see MS-11 Gresham Incunabula Leaves Collection).","Enid Starkie (1897-1970) was born in Ireland and studied in both Ireland and England. She was an author of biographies and taught modern languages at the University of Oxford, University of Exeter, and Hollins College (now Hollins University).","John Gassner (1903-1967) was born in Hungary and lived in New York. He attended Columbia University, receiving his Masters. He taught at Labor Temple School (1925-1927), Columbia University, Hunter College (1928-1945), and Bryn Mawr College (1941-1943). Gassner was a playwright and wrote for several magazines, including the New York Times Book Review.","Wystan Hugh Auden – better known as W.H. Auden – (1907-1973) was from England and emigrated to the United States during WWII (1939). He was a playwright and an author of poetry. Most of his poems were of a political and moral nature. During the Spanish Civil War, Auden spent time in Spain writing. Auden graduated from Oxford in 1928 and married Erika Mann in 1935 to protect her from the Nazi's. Mann stayed behind when Auden emigrated to the United States; the pair never divorced and remained friends. Auden wrote a few plays with Chester Kallman – his lifelong companion. Auden taught poetry at Oxford University from 1956-1961. In 1948, Auden won a Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Anxiety; the Gresham family donated a signed copy.","May Sarton (1912-1995) was a poet and author of novels. She is known for her interest in feminism and sexuality, which transfers to her writing. Sarton was born in Belgium, but in 1914, the family fled to England due to WWI. In 1918, the family emigrated to the United States where Sarton remained. The theater was Sarton's first love; after acting for a small New York theater, she ran her own theater company, but had to take on extra work to keep the theater's finances in the black. She began writing literary reviews specifically about theater, but dabbled in poetry as well. She briefly wrote documentary scripts for the United States Office of War Information. During the 1930s, she taught at Stuart School in Boston and from 1950-1953 she taught composition at Harvard University.","Barbara Guest (1920-2006) was an American poet and playwright. In addition, Guest also wrote art reviews for magazines, such as Art News and Art in America. Guest graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley and lived in New York. Among the awards Guest won during her lifetime, include the Lawrence Lipton Award for Literature (1990) and the Robert Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement from Poetry Society of America (1999).","Marianne Moore (1887-1972) was an American poet known for her diverse writings. Moore grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909. She lived in New York with her mother throughout her life. The literary community viewed her as an \"auntie figure\" and a mentor. During her lifetime, Moore won many awards: Levinson Prize from Poetry Magazine (1932), Pulitzer Prize for Collected Poems (1951), and gold medals from Poetry Society of America (1960 \u0026 1967).","Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) was an American poet and political activist. She attended school at Vassar College from 1930-1932, but did not graduate. Upon her departure from Vassar, Rukeyser started the journal Student Review with three other women. In 1933, Rukeyser travelled to Alabama to cover the Scottsboro, Alabama, trial of nine African-American boys who were accused of raping two white females, but Rukeyser was detained during the trial. In 1936, she went to Spain to cover an athletic competition; however, by the time she arrived, the Spanish Civil War had begun and Rukeyser began working for the medical bureau in Spain. Rukeyser was frequently involved with political activism and was an advocate against inhumanity. She taught at Sarah Lawrence College in 1946 and 1956-1967. She spoke several languages, including French, Spanish, Swedish, and Italian and enjoyed translating poems in these languages. Among her many awards are the Oscar Blumethal Prize in poetry (1940), Harriet Monroe Poetry Award (1941), and the Levinson Prize in poetry (1947). \nPaul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947. He was a classmate of William Dew Gresham's. Duke wrote a sports column during his time at the university. Duke is best known for his time on the television program Washington Week in Review where he worked for twenty years. During his time on the show, Duke was inducted into the Virginia Communications Hall of Fame (1992).","Paul Duke (1926-2005) graduated from University of Richmond in 1947.

Born August 10, 1869, in Richmond, Virginia, he was the second of four children. He attended the John S. McGuire Academy but, due to financial matters, was unable to attend college. He set about educating himself and worked in a bank for several years, while writing and attempting to get a play produced on Broadway. In 1895, at the age of 26, he moved to New York City to pursue his writing career. Not having much money, he went looking for work and found a job in a fire insurance office as an accountant. He continued to shop his play, The Broken Rosary, around the city and at one point it looked like it was going to make it. He quit his fire insurance job to devote his time to the play.  Unfortunately, it fell through and he went back to work, this time for a bridge building company. Finally, Walter Lawrence, manager of the Madison Square Theater commissioned him to write The Prince Chap, 1904, which was met with rave reviews. A Broken Rosary was rewritten as a book, also in 1904.","His best known works are A Pair of Sixes and The Littlest Rebel. Some of his plays were made into silent films, and then later sound films. Probably his most famous work was The Littlest Rebel, in book form, play form and then in motion pictures, most notably, the Shirley Temple movie of that name. After his death in 1924, his brothers and sister continued to work with theaters, agents, and producers to market his plays and handle requests for movie and publication rights.","By the time of his death, July 28, 1924, he had written more than 40 plays, many short stories and poems, and several books.

He set about educating himself and worked in a bank for several years, while writing and attempting to get a play produced on Broadway. In 1895, at the age of 26, he moved to New York City to pursue his writing career. Not having much money, he went looking for work and found a job in a fire insurance office as an accountant.

Additionally, the collection arrived containing letters predating and unrelated to World War II, many lacking names, dates, or other identifying information, as well as a few items of unrelated ephemera. Taken individually or as a whole, the World War II letters in this collection provide intimate access to the lives and experiences of several individuals throughout the course of the war.","The collection arrived as a single unit of materials mixed together. The processor decided to separate into individual correspondents and organize the collection by correspondent and then chronologically.","Processed by Lynda Kachurek.","MS-8 World War I \u0026 II Pamphlets Collection.","Series I, George \u0026 Mary (Zyla) Orlikowski Letters, contains over 230 letters written by George Orlikowski to his girlfriend, and later wife, Mary Zyla Orlikowski. Dating between July 1942 and March 1945, the series traces Orlikowski's wartime activities as well as what was happening on the home front. Family concerns and military life dominate the writings, but they also offer views into larger wartime concerns of both military and life on the home front.  Additionally, there are many examples of humorous envelopes and letterhead. In one letter from December 1944, as George's unit is preparing to ship out to the Pacific, he creates a code based on his salutations so that Mary can track his location without the censor's knowledge. Overall, these letters create a nearly complete and compelling story of a Midwestern couple during World War II.","Series II, Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham Letters, contains 152 letters written to Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham between 1941 and 1944 from a variety of correspondents. A student at Millsaps College at the time, Dorothy lived in Jackson, Mississippi. Between 1943 and 1945, Millsaps was home to the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which may help explain how she connected with many of her letter writers. One notable correspondent is Jack Devore Dunn, whose 52 letters include information about his service with the Army Air Corps South Pacific campaign, including his participation with his B-26 crew in the Battle of Midway. Dunn received both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are also 9 letters from Jack's mother, Mrs. Betty Uhlorn. Other correspondents included men serving in the Naval Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Army. Overall, the letters in this series offer a wide-ranging and diverse perspective on military service throughout World War II as well as a sense of what life on the home-front was like for a female college student. Raynham married William C. Fullilove on June 6, 1944, and died in October 1967.","Series III, Parrish Family Letters, contains 88 letters from and about the W.R. Parrish family of North Carolina. Beginning in 1914, the correspondence runs through the end of 1943, with some gaps in the timeline.  Many of the letters are written from W.R. Parrish or his daughter, \"Lib\" to Lillian [Mrs. W.R.] Parrish, and cover business concerns, family life, and some coverage of the war in letters from the wartime years.","Series IV, Walter \"Wally\" and Ann Wrobel Letters, contains 109 letters primarily from Wally Wrobel, with some from his wife, Ann, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wrobel, of Chicago, Illinois. Beginning in August 1943, when Wrobel was a private in the U.S. Army stationed at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, the letters follow his career across several different locations where, occasionally, Ann was able to join him. Many of the letters focus on the home front, discussing his parents' lives as well as things going on with his wife and, eventually, his young daughter. Early in 1944, his correspondence switches as his military activities increase and by Fall 1944, he makes brief mentions of being near New Guinea and later the Philippines. He occasionally mentions battles or other military activities, but usually his correspondence is more about the weather or activities at home. The last letter in the series was written on May 13, 1945, just one day before, according to military records, he died in action on May 14.","Series V, Other World War II Letters, contains three smaller sets of unrelated correspondence concerning World War II. The first set contains 92 letters written by Paul Dobin to Charlotte Gibbs. Between March 1 and July 23, 1944, he wrote nearly every day, talking of his life in the Navy as well as encouraging her in schoolwork, family matters, and eventually planning their wedding. Further research showed that Gibbs and her family were German Jewish immigrants having arrived in the United States in 1934. The second set of letters were written by Davis Lee, serving in the Navy, to his wife, Georgia, of Martinsville, Virginia, between mid-November 1944 and January 1945. Most of the 11 letters are trying to arrange plans for a furlough visit and telling how much he misses her. The third set contains 7 letters from Private Ray Trapp to his parents, Mr. \u0026 Mrs. Ray Trapp of Berea, Ohio, in April and May 1945, describing his activities during the end of the war in Germany.","Series VI, Other Letters, contains 26 folders of letters unrelated to World War II. Dating between 1857 and 1947, these often single letters contain a wide variety of information, including business advertisements, wedding announcements, and general correspondence from many areas. One of the more intriguing sets can be found in Box 2, File 16, which contains 3 letters from a Dutch Navy officer, known only as John/Jake, to Frances Pogue of Cincinnati, Ohio. Written while at sea in 1916 and later from his hospital bed in 1918, the author talks of books read and his experiences during the Great War. Box 2, File 29, may also be of interest as it contains a handwritten advertisement for a wife by an unknown male.","Series VII, Ephemera, contains 3 folders of items that are not correspondence. The first is a Latin notebook, which also contains newspaper clippings about London society. The second and third contain photographic materials.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.  Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","This collection contains more than 700 letters, the vast majority dating to World War II between 1940 and 1945. Each of the first five series deal with numerous letters to/from a primary correspondent, whether husband and wife, family members, or varying levels of acquaintance that date between 1940 and 1945. The final two series contain correspondence and ephemera unrelated to World War II that was included in the collection when purchased.","University of Richmond","English\n      Latin"],"collection_title_tesim":["World War II Correspondence Collection, 1857/1966, bulk 1940/1945"],"collection_ssim":["World War II Correspondence Collection, 1857/1966, bulk 1940/1945"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["MS-32","/repositories/4/resources/38"],"unitid_tesim":["MS-32","/repositories/4/resources/38"],"repository_ssm":["University of Richmond"],"repository_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"creators_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"access_terms_ssm":["Copyright restrictions may apply.

S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98) that cover the important period of naval expansion from 1864 to 1900.  His family created the collection, which follows his early naval career until his death, as evidenced through the newspaper clippings.","Elmer was an American Navy Commander, born in 1846. Having graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1864 (aged 18), he began his naval career on the flagship for the East India Squadron, the U.S.S. Hartford, on which he sailed to the Pacific, via Cape Town (1865-69). He went on to have a successful career, serving on the U.S.S. Terror from 1870-1871; the U.S.S.  Vandalia 1871; the U.S.S. Ossippee 1871-1873; and the U.S.S. Kearsarge 1878-82.  In 1883 he was promoted to the rank of Commander and in 1886 he was awarded the head of the department of seamanship at the United States Naval Academy. His career, as the collection shows, gave him the opportunity to navigate across the world, visiting places such as South Africa, China, Peru, and San Domingo. The height of his career was when he was commissioned to organize and command the Mosquito Fleet in the Spanish - American War, March 1898. Unfortunately, he contracted a cold that turned into pneumonia and died one month later.","His journals reflect his time at the end of his career at the naval academy and important technical notes, but most significantly his time spent at sea. His writing style is casual and, because of the journal-like style, his personality as well as his cultural and geographical background shine through.","One of the photo albums was curated by Horace Elmer's daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, who was a healthcare and housing reformer during the progressive era into the mid twentieth century. Aged twenty-two, she married to Naval Officer Albert Norton Wood and she travelled with him to Puerto Rico around 1906.  There, her interest in healthcare flourished, becoming the head of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. Some of her significant publications include: The Housing of the Unskilled Wage Earner, 1919, Housing Progress in Western Europe, 1923, Recent Trends in American Housing, 1931, Slums and Blighted Areas in the United States, (P.W.A. Housing Division Bulletin), 1935 and Introduction to Housing Facts and Principles, 1939.","Processed by Charlotte Hawkins and Luci Ortiz.","The Horace Elmer Collection covers a short but important period in U.S. naval history from the end of the American Civil War to the beginning of the Spanish-American War at the eve of the twentieth century. Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S. Kearsarge, one being of the officers and another of the crew being inspected, both dated 1890; several snapshots of interiors of family residences, including one of her mother in a rocking chair, and a photo of Commander Elmer working at his desk in the Ordnance Office; ten photos, five quite large, of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893; and ten large photographs taken on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, two of them featuring Mrs. Wood and her husband. Other scenes from the Naval Academy include cadets being drilled and the Tripoli Monument.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.  Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","This collection includes journals, scrapbooks, and photographs belonging to U. S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98). He was an important naval figure who sailed on the USS Hartford's Asiatic mission, but significantly, the Monitor. This collection illustrates, through personal documentation, the experience of life at sea but also Elmer's immense skill and expertise in the US Navy in both mechanical and practical aspects. Information concerning his daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, a prominent progressive housing reformer, is also contained in the collection.","University of Richmond","Kearsarge (Battleship)","United States.

The Spanish notes that are found in Commander Elmer's journal are a variant of Latin American Spanish, specifically from a region with a strong influence of Portuguese. Given some of the grammatical features of the short sentences and the vocabulary in the notes, it could be considered a form of Portuñol/Portunhol."],"collection_title_tesim":["Commander Horace Elmer Collection, 1864/1900"],"collection_ssim":["Commander Horace Elmer Collection, 1864/1900"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["MS-6","/repositories/4/resources/50"],"unitid_tesim":["MS-6","/repositories/4/resources/50"],"repository_ssm":["University of Richmond"],"repository_ssim":["University of Richmond"],"geogname_ssm":["New York (N.Y.)","East Indies","Hong Kong (China)","Cape Town (South Africa)","Indonesia"],"geogname_ssim":["New York (N.Y.)","East Indies","Hong Kong (China)","Cape Town (South Africa)","Indonesia"],"places_ssim":["New York (N.Y.)","East Indies","Hong Kong (China)","Cape Town (South Africa)","Indonesia"],"creator_ssm":["Horace, Elmer, Commander, 1846-1898","Elmer family"],"creator_ssim":["Horace, Elmer, Commander, 1846-1898","Elmer family"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Horace, Elmer, Commander, 1846-1898","Wood, Edith Elmer, 1871-1945","Elmer, Adele Wiley, 1848-1917"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["University of Richmond","Kearsarge (Battleship)","United States.

Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7.

Roberts, Professor of English, was the second Dean of Westhampton College, from 1947 to 1965. Born in Rockport, Indiana on March 15, 1904, she was the daughter of the Hon. Judge Ralph Elmer and Alice Enfield (nee Saunders) Roberts. She was educated at Evansville College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1924. She received her Master's and Ph.D. degrees from Radcliffe College in 1928 and 1943 respectively. From 1928 to 1936, she taught in Central and Bosse High Schools in Evansville, and also at Evansville College. She did graduate work at Indiana University and Cambridge University during the years 1925-1929. In 1937, Dr. Roberts became Dean of Women and Assistant Professor of English at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and served in that capacity until 1946. She lectured in English at Toronto University from 1946 to 1947, when she came to Westhampton College as Dean and Professor of English. In 1965, she left the position as Dean and continued as a Professor of English until her retirement in 1975.","Dr. Roberts' most notable quality as a teacher was always her strong demand for excellence from her students, something she certainly mirrored in her tenacity in her research and writing. Her personal grace and charm were also mentioned many times, as was her ability to put faculty and students at ease in social settings.","Dr. Roberts was a leading Thomas Hardy scholar and actually lived for a year in 1935 at Max Gate, Dorset, the Hardy estate, with Hardy's widow, Florence. Her doctoral dissertation was titled Thomas Hardy and the Theater. She continued with this theme in two of her scholarly publications, Tess in the Theater, 1950, and Hardy's Poetic Drama and the Theater, 1965. A third book, Florence Hardy and the Max Gate Circle, was eventually published in the Thomas Hardy Yearbook, no. 9 (1980).","During the Vietnam War, Dr. Roberts was appointed by the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, to the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, 1965-68. In addition to being a Virginia Cultural Laureate, Dr. Roberts was also associate editor of the Journal of the Deans of Women, 1942-50; member of Phi Beta Kappa, American Association of University Professors, Modern Language Association, the Canadian Author's Association, and the Virginia Writer's Association. She was also president of the Women's Club of Richmond, 1970-1971. Health issues forced her to return to Indiana, where, after a long illness, she died on March 25, 1988.","Processed by Elizabeth Dickie, Special Collections Cataloging and Preservation Associate.","The rare book collection at Boatwright Library has volumes that were gifted to Dr. Roberts and items that were gifts of Dr. Roberts. Those items are noted in the library catalog records and may be located by searching her name. Dr. Roberts also did an oral history interview on 14 April 1976 that is available as part of the Westhampton College Oral Histories in audio and transcription.","This collection encompasses Dr. Roberts' research and writing about Thomas Hardy.
