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>I have your letter about Col. Lincoln Karmany and shall keep it in mind against the time of action, though I have not consulted with the Secretary of Navy about this particular promotion as yet at all and we are trying to follow lines of strict professional standards in all promotions.<br /><br />I feel that the Mexican situation is slowly working itself out and that the currency situation is rapidly working itself out, but, alas, combined they have played havoc with my game of golf. I play doggedly on every day but have wornout nerves when I tackle the job and do it indifferently. Someday when my nerves are in shape, I'll challenge you.<br /><br />In haste</p>
Affectionately yours, <br />Woodrow Wilson
