Correspondence - Letters from Male Friends, 1916-1920
Scope and Contents
Letters written by hometown friends and college friends. When Turner Henley goes to The University of Virginia in 1920, many of his friends from William and Mary write him. Letters written during the school year center on social activities, sports, fraternities, and girls. Those written during the summer months are about vacations and plans for the coming year. George S. Ferguson writes from France and Allen W. Callis from Berlin; both in the military. The names of some of the friends are Chet (Kappa Sigma in Williamsburg), Flicky Harwood, W.R. Carter, "Judie" (Martinsville), Vernon [Geddy] (Williamsburg), Herbert Field, Tom Peyton, and Tyler Willis.
