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.

This series contains many photographs depicting Evans as a businessman, as well as with his family, as well as numerous news clippings detailing aspects of his career.

This series contains a journal kept by Evans from March 22 - June 1939, recording a trip to Brazil to study that country's cotton industry, daily diaries, clipped and handwritten or typed quotations and poems, published books, booklets, and brochures collected by Evans, as well as business cards, draft cards, a library card, advertising postcards, and certificates recording honors bestowed on Evans, along with a few personal artifacts such as an engraved penknife, and a card enclosing a handkerchief.

This series is comprised chiefly of correspondence between Evans and several administrative units of Texas A&M University, as well as the Aggie Club and Former Students Association. Also present is a telegram of the then U. S. senator from Texas, Price Daniel, a program for the 1973 Texas A&M University commencement exercises, and a file of clippings. Files are arranged first by format with correspondence files sub-arranged alphabetically by name of a university group, followed by three separate files for a telegram, the program, and clippings. Subseries 4.1. Sterling C. Evans Library, (1975-1994) contains materials more directly related to Evans' patronage of the Texas A&M University Libraries.

This series details the development of Evans' ranching enterprises. Correspondence records Evans' incisive decision-making and the strong friendships he made and maintained within the cattle industry. Particularly noteworthy is the record of Evans' successful partnership with Gus Wortham, from the early growth of their association and friendship, through to the partnership's amiable dissolution in later years. In particular, information found in subseries 3.3. Little Eva Plantation, Chopin, La., 1864-1991 (bulk: 1941-1970) highlights the importance Evans placed on cultivating the historical context of many of his ranches.

This series contains mostly personal correspondence, including a few notes, pertaining to Evans' personal financial and legal affairs, particularly referring to family wills and estates. Financial documents include bank statements, tax forms, canceled checks, ledgers, receipts, and materials about credit card accounts. Files are arranged with general correspondence, financial and legal materials presented first, followed by two groups of subject files, the first arranged alphabetically by names of persons, the second alphabetically by names of business or other corporate bodies.

This series consists mainly of social and informal correspondence, including letters, greetings, and Christmas cards. Also present are spiral-bound guest notebooks containing names and contact information for people who visited Evans at his various ranches through the years. Also included with their related correspondence, is an annotated draft of the foreword composed by Evans for the biography of Gus Wortham, Gus Wortham: Portrait of a Leader, written by Fran Dressman (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 1994).
