http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/170924117

The collection contains extensive correspondence and papers concerning Fuson's service as a conscientious objector in Civilian Public Service during World War II and evaluations of the program. As the child of missionaries to China and having spent most of his childhood there, he hoped to do relief service in China, and many of the papers deal with the CPS China Unit. In addition to the CPS material, Nelson and Marian Darnell Fuson were active in Quaker concerns, including participation in international seminars sponsored by the AFSC.
