| Scope and content |
Much of the correspondence (1871-1920) concerns local and family matters. A prominent topic is the University of North Carolina, including life at UNC and contributions for the Tau Chapter House Fund for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. World War I letters comment on the physical examination for military inductees, military life, and opine that the U.S. Army was good despite complaints of some officers and enlisted men. A file of Greenville Cotton Mills records includes tabulations of yarn sales and yarn orders. Land records consist of seven deeds for Pitt County land. Records pertaining to elections include a pamphlet; lists of Pitt County delegates to the state and congressional conventions; a speech urging the selection of a candidate as presidential nominee; a tabulation of the Pitt County precincts for candidates in the June 2, 1934, Democratic primary; a flyer, "Gubernatorial Bulletin," showing notes in state conventions; and various undated ballots. Other materials include: a student handbook from UNC, essays, poems, speeches, tracts, brochures, pamphlets, postcards, photographs, photo albums, and D. C. Moore's records (1904) as Greenville Clerk of Superior Court. |
