June 16, 1919, Bosworth explains how the third U.S.S. Albany anchors along with the British cruiser Kent with a hand-drawn diagram. He draws a map of "Golden Horn," one of the harbors in Vladivostok. He shows a hand-drawn ring initialed with the words "USS DB Albany."

June 18, 1919, Bosworth mentions cruising around in Peter the Great Bay. Describing a Russian bathing beach, he comments that Russians do not wear anything while swimming. He thinks Vladivostok is a good place for hunting.

June 21, 1919, Bosworth records that the British cruiser Kent plans to leave Vladivostok Monday morning, but her relief that Carlisle has not come yet. He asks his folks to send some film for his camera because it is expensive in Vladivostok. He informs them that the Navy Department is preparing a bill for Congress by which crews will get a raise in pay.

June 22, 1919, Bosworth talks about the concert of the Middlesex Regiment Band at "Y." At the concert, he meets a well-educated Czech. Bosworth explains the Battalion of Death, a group of Russian women forces. He mentions two American merchant ships, the West Helix and the Archer.

June 25, 1919, Bosworth writes that he has gone to Russian Island for a test with the navigator, the chief quartermaster, the first-class general manager, and the third general manager. They swim while they are waiting for the boat after they have finished their test.

June 28, 1919, Bosworth recalls that about 3 days or so ago 500 Bolsheviks attacked a small number of Americans and they killed sixteen and wounded thirty-six. Since the Bolsheviks warn that they will attack the town by tomorrow, all of the Marines are guarding the American consulate.

June 30, 1919, Bosworth informs that small arms, ammunition, and equipment are distributed for the landing force. He offers the chief 41 dollars to get him on the list of the forces, which will go ashore tomorrow morning, but he does not make it.

July 1, 1919, Bosworth describes that the Albany puts ashore the one hundred forty landing forces to capture Petrovka, which is about 8 or 9 miles inland from Andreeva Bay. Each man is armed with a rifle and 220 rounds. When they attack the town, they find that the Bolsheviks have already left.

July 2, 1919, Bosworth mentions the arrival of the Carlisle, which relieves the Kent when the Albany gets back to port. The Carlisle is a super-destroyer and is armed with five 6-inch guns and ten torpedo tubes. Her speed is 35 knots.

July 5, 1919, Bosworth writes that his shipmates have games on the ship in the morning. The games include an obstacle race, boon fight, shoe race, bottle royal, three-legged race on the dock, pie-eating contest, and a boat race.

July 6, 1919, Bosworth details that the Albany and the Carlisle accompany the ships loaded with supplies for the Americans at Suchan mines. The troops land at about seven in the morning. Even though there is no opposition to the landing, mounted men scout the land.

July 7, 1919, Bosworth records that nothing much happens today. The Carlisle leaves this morning. The Albany returns from the Suchan River at 10 pm.

This series contains three group of letters, with the first group containing sixteen letters written in the period June 12, 1846 - May 16, 1847, by Edward Everett in San Antonio de Bexar during his service in the Mexican War, to his brother, Samuel W. Everett in Quincy, Ill. A few letters, also from this period, sent to Everett by Captain J. H. Ralston, Colonel R. Jones, Captain James D. Morgan, and Colonel William Weatherford pertain to Everett's disability and eventual discharge from the Army.

The second group has three letters from the period after the Mexican War. The first letter, no more than a note, dated 1852, is from W. H. Bissell concerning a piece of legislation. The other two letters are from 1863, and both discuss the Civil War. One is addressed from Fort Jackson, probably in Louisiana, dated 13 April 1863, opening with "My Dear Father," and closing with "your son Taylar Clark." This writer mentions the Civil War in general terms, and the spelling and grammar are both very poor. The other letter, with much more educated spelling and grammatical style, is addressed "Camp near Warrenton, Va.," dated 6 Sept. 1863, opens with "Dear Parents," and closes "From your affect. son, Henry." This letter discusses army camp life in some detail, including the responsibilities of training U.S. Army Conscripts, various incidents occurring during patrol duty, and an attack that had just been mounted by "Mosebys Gang " at New Baltimore.
