Alabama. Board of Inspectors of Convicts. Administrative correspondence, 1881-1897.

Title: Administrative correspondence, 1881-1897.

Administrative correspondence documents the administration of a department or division, and tends to deal with matters that have an impact on the program areas that the department or division is mandated to carry out. This series consists of the administrative correspondence of the Board of Inspectors of Convicts and its predecessor agency, the Board of Inspectors of the Penitentiary, between 1881 and 1897. The bulk of the series covers the years from 1883 to 1897 when Reginald Heber Dawson served as president of the board. The series consists of eighteen volumes: five letterbooks containing letters to the board and thirteen letterpress copybooks containing letters from the board. Most volumes are individually indexed. The letterbooks containing incoming letters are extremely fragile. The majority of the series consists of reports to Dawson from Inspectors W. D. Lee and A. T. Henley concerning their inspections of conditions of prisons, mines and farms where prisoners were leased; classification and medical reports from prison physicians Shirley Bragg and Russell M. Cunningham; and reports from prison chaplain Evan Nicholson. A significant amount of correspondence deals with personal and political matters of concern to Dawson, particularly the gubernatorial aspirations of himself and his brother, N. H. R. Dawson. Other correspondents include: Ala. Governors Rufus Wills Cobb, Edward Asbury O'Neal, Thomas Seay and Thomas Goode Jones; State Democratic Executive Committee members Henry Clay Tompkins, Edmund W. Pettus and Tennent Lomax; Ala. Penitentiary Warden and later U. S. Representative John H. Bankhead, and prison reformer Julia Strudwick Tutwiler.
