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 Mr. President
<p>I read to the Italian Ambassador the letter which you received from Professor RH Dabney regarding Lieutenant Roselli. The Ambassador said that the reason for the return of Roselli to Italy was not because he had offended any Americans but because of the urgent need of the Italian Government for officers in the army in view of the great numbers that have been killed during the last month.<br /><br />The Ambassador said, however, that in view of your interest in the matter he would gladly take all responsibilty and would to-day telegraph Roselli permission to remain in this country two weeks longer in order that he may carry out his speaking program in Chicago, Buffalo and a few other places as requested by Professor Dabney.<br /><br />With assurances of respect, etc., I am, my dear Mr. President,</p>
Faithfully yours, <br />William Phillips
