1/28: Three Photos - "Virginia Hannon," "George with Wynelle" and unlabeled photo of George Haley and Bill Clinton
-HANNON, Virginia. Black and white photograph. Measuring 3 1⁄2" x 5". Hannon in a uniform (Red Cross?) with pencil notation on the rear "Virginia Hanon."

-HALEY, George. Color photograph. Measuring 5 1⁄4" x 4". Pencil notation on rear: "George with Wynelle."

-HALEY, George and Bill Clinton. Color photograph. Measuring 7" x 5". George with Bill Clinton.

1/29: Letter with envelope, 4 pages, signed "Palmer," January 18, 1949
-A playful letter that begins with Haley recounting a dinner at Sweetie's restaurant while sitting next to an odd French couple, then it switches to thoughts of Virginia's intention of being a social worker, and his view of his brother George: "He is, of course, a wonderful fellow of sterling character, loyalty and any number of other nice things. But, objectively, I can't quite follow his train of thought and action on a number of things." He also touches on his aspiring writing career: "Yeah, I'm trying pretty hard and have thus far had some minor successes. One thing is for sure; I'm getting some wonderful breaks."

1/30: Letter with envelope, 6 pages signed "Palmer," February 5, 1949
-Haley boasts about writing this letter instead of an article for the Coast Guard Magazine which is already a month late, citing his habit of "never writing anything that I know I have to until it is the very last moment." He offers a few flirtatious rejoinders to Virginia's comment about his daydreaming about sports while in class at Alcorn where she taught French: "I assured myself that they [her breasts] were not as you say, spinsterly. And believe me, love, I was not, when you observed me, thinking about any damned touchdowns." Also some thoughts on writing: "I'm essentially lazy, but I love to write once I get started ... figure to try my hand at a book in maybe another year now and will count on you to buy one copy to at least salvage that much of the publisher's gamble."

1/31: Letter with envelope, 6 pages signed "Alex," October 1949
-Pleasantries about a trip to Chicago, seeing his youngest brother Julius for the first time in several years, "there is a boy for you! Already, he is rugged a-plenty, to the point of forcing this old hulk to observe with what I imagine was ill-concealed admiration," and a night out with his father who lectured him on spending too much money, quoting his father: "Now Palmer, I know you are doing well and all that but, Palmer, let me give you the benefit of Dad's long experience. You don't have to go to places like that to eat. I am sure that there are other places you can get a meal for that much, not that that sandwich wasn't good or that I didn't appreciate it, but money is hard to get, so. Why when Dad was your age, back down in Savannah on the river, he used to have a good time for a whole week on less than that, and furthermore..."

1/32: Letter with envelope, 2 pages, signed "Alex," September 9, 1950
-Haley's apologies about not writing sooner gives updates on his brother George's travels, Julius's deployment in Korea, and his father's recent divorce and renewed bachelorhood, as well as a joke about a Catholic nun.

1/33: Letter with envelope, 4 pages, signed "Alex," November 28, 1953
-A letter was written while stuck in a U. S. Public Health Service Home on Staten Island following an operation for a pilonidal cyst: "I never had so much time on end to write in my life. I have to stand up to type, to be sure, but - boy, am I turning out the words! Things I've wanted to work on for ages." Most of the letters concern George, his past relationships, and his recent engagement. Haley uses the occasion to ruminate on the institution of marriage in general and his own, which was at the time failing: "Mine's up and down. So's damn near everybody's I know. I have told myself at times if I'd stayed single until now, I'd play it real clever - and in the same flash of thought, I know how good would be the chances I'd be [the] essence of misery. Again, who the hell knows? Who's got the answer, the key?"

1/34: Letter with envelope, 4 pages, signed "Palmer," February 1954
-Haley describes his need for absolute quiet to write properly: "I simply cannot write in the company; cannot disassociate myself into the vacuum I need and produce best in"; talks about a fancy party he was invited to and the uncomfortable environment it created: "these people, many of them, weren't out to have fun, Virginia - a lot came to be seen; you could see the strain in their faces, and a lot more on pretty faces in many cases, that wasn't pretty"; and his recent success at selling his first article to Reader's Digest: "The prime accomplishment to date, a milestone in my life, I guess, was the sale two weeks ago, of 'The Harlem that Nobody Knows,' a 4,000-word piece, to Reader's Digest.... As a result, I, last week, got taken in the stable of Ruth Aley, probably one of the top 5 literary agents in the country. I am working like a bastard, to put it bluntly, to justify this break. What I have to be is a reporter, interpret or just tell what I see, magazine-style. What I am trying to do, right now, is making $5,000 a year at part-time writing before I 'retire' - from CG [Coast Gauard] '59 - and with luck and health, I think I will. Then I will elect whatever the future shall be."

1/35: Letter with envelope 1 page, signed "Alex," February 1967
-A secretarial letter asking friends, both white and black, about their first memories from childhood concerning race for an article he is preparing, with a holograph note at the bottom apologizing about the form letter and mentioning a recent trip to Paris: "I sure wish I'd paid more attention to you teaching French." It is accompanied by an article he wrote for the Rome Sentinel about a literary tour of Ireland and Rome, which also has a holograph note of pleasantries and final comment about currently working on a script for a Tony Curtis film.

Letters

1/1
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.

1/2
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.

1/3
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.

1/4
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.

Miscellaneous Letters, Memos, and Clippings

This series includes newspaper clippings, including three items thought to be from circa 1906 concerning the Alamo, its survivors, and its history, and a copy of Edward Everett's obituary. Miscellaneous documents include a copy of a House Bill for financial relief due to Everett's disability incurred while serving in the U.S. Army during the Mexican War, and other miscellaneous printed pieces referring to him.

Personal Correspondence with Family and Friends

This correspondence is chiefly between immediate family members and a few close friends. Some of the correspondence is to or from General Burns, but most are to or from his unmarried sister "Mab" who apparently lived with the family and corresponded with her niece, Pauline Magruder, and nephew, L. Burns Magruder, frequently as they grew up. There are numerous letters and notes from Burns that range in styles and dates from his very early child-like script through his West Point graduation. Several of the letters from Pauline Magruder are in French and written while she was studying in Paris. There are also several letters from a B. L. Prince who was, it seems, intent on marrying the General's sister, "Mab" Burns.

Miscellaneous Documents

This set of documents is a widely varied mix. Included is a speech delivered by General William Wallace Burns at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, a poem and a fable it is believed he authored, calling cards, invitations, autobiographical narrative, a prayer, news clippings related to family members, an editorial written by General William Wallace Burns, a single old photo of an unidentified couple, a note from a West Point classmate, Daniel T. Van Buren, and miscellaneous empty envelopes.

Financial and Legal Documents

This series contains documents relating to Texas and East Coast real estate transactions, much definitive information on the "Sibley Tent" and the lawsuit resulting from a disagreement concerning patent royalties. Includes two House Bills to force the government to pay Burns as well as the final statement of judgment. Also various other financial correspondence, largely contentious in nature, including documents concerning a bad debt owed to General Burns. Some of the later correspondence was directed to General Burns' sister and concerned selling some real estate.

Journals and Memoir

This series consists of three groups of journal entries, and a memoir handwritten in ink. All are written on loose sheets of white notepaper or stationary which had been machine ruled in blue, except for one sheet of pale blue, unruled paper with a yellowed, rough left margin, which may have been torn from a notebook, but more likely was the remaining half of a larger sheet of paper.

Nearly all the pages bear some lightly penciled annotations, corrections and additions, undoubtedly in Everett's handwritting, and all but the memoir, with one page labeled a copy of 1899, had been folded to approximately 20 x 9 cm., then labeled as if for filing. Unclear in all cases which sets of entries are original or fair hand copies, though it appears that Everett may have been preparing all the entries for publication, probably in a personal memoir.

Journal entries are devoted to Everett's experiences in Texas during the Mexican War (1846-1848) and are dated from shortly after Edward Everett was wounded in the knee (11 Sept. 1846) and confined to the military hospital to 4 April 1847. The memoir extends the record to encompass the rest of 1848, and extend the chronology of Everett's life to well past the Civil War, though the latter events are only touched on briefly.

Everett's narrative of his experiences give a great deal of detail and insight concerning life on the Texas frontier near the Mexican border, as well as the hardships encountered by American soldiers and both American and Mexican civilians during the Mexican War (1846-1848).

Personal Correspondence with Professional Colleagues

Letters from friends, colleagues, and professionals concerning the subjects of Burns' resignation, his opinions on the war and the political situation of the time. Includes his letters to and from others such as U. S. Grant, J. A. Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, W. B. Franklin, and General George McClellan. Letters of congratulations, appreciation, clarification, and expression of political viewpoints can be found in this series.
