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>Your letter of the twenty-first came in due course of mail and I have read it with growing appreciation of what you are doing and of the value of what you are telling me from time to time.<br /><br />Apparently it would be literally impossible for me to make a series of speeches in Virginia, as Mr. Harris so kindly suggests, though I hope it might be possible some time during the legislative session to make one. I do not know what to say about your suggestion that the Legislature of the State invite me. You are in a better position to judge of the wisdom of that than I am.<br /><br />The impression of your letter with mine appended seems to have been excellent and the men at my headquarters in New York are planning to send out a great lot of them through the South.<br /><br />In haste,</p>
Faithfully yours, <br />Woodrow Wilson
