Richard Theobald Brice papers, 1926-1969.

The collection consists of papers of Richard Theobald Brice from 1926-1969. The majority of the papers contain correspondence between Brice and his mother Helen E. Brice in Atlanta (later Cummings), Georgia. Of particular interest are letters that he wrote while attending Cal Tech (Pasadina, Calf.) in the 1930's which describe student life and extensive correspondence and some v-mail while he was serving in the U.S. Army with Island Command in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Though heavily censored in content, the letters do reflect the life of a soldier on a Pacific island. After the war, he writes from New York City describing his social life and his work with the Otis Elevator Company.
