Description
An account of the resource
Wilson writes to Dabney, his former University of Virginia classmate (and later history professor at the University) regarding his life after ill health forced him to discontinue his studies. Of interest are twenty letters, 1881-1889, written after Wilson left the University of Virginia. In them he discusses his law studies, health, the University, the Jefferson Society, fellow students including future University of Virginia professor Charles Kent, impressions of Johns Hopkins and Bryn Mawr, his early writings, marriage, history, and politics. Later letters are shorter and more conventional in content, but contain occasional allusions to public affairs and the presidency. The collection also contains one letter from Wilson to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors recommending the hiring of Dabney as a professor. In addition to the letters from Wilson, the collection contains letters or telegrams from Ellen A. Wilson, Edith Bolling Wilson, Newton Baker, John Randolph Bolling, A. S. Burleson, Assistant Secretary of State William Phillips, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, William Howard Taft, J. P. Tumulty and the Italian ambassador. Most of these letters concern issues that Dabney brought to Wilson's attention.

My dear Heath:-
<p>Thank you for your letter of December fourteenth. It is very amusing to get such word of Proctor of Cincinnati. I think you can rest assured that he can do me no harm. It was he who gave the money to support West against me in the matter of the Graduate College controversy in Princeton. He will do all the mischief he can now, as he did then. But I think his motives will be only too evident, and it is not money the other side needs: - they have plenty-but brains and opportunity.</p>
Always affectionately yours, <br />Woodrow Wilson<br /><br /><br />Professor Richard H. Dabney, Dean<br />Charlottesville,<br />Virginia
