This collection contains correspondence, newsletters, booklets, and ephemera collected by Walter J. Williams, member of the Texas Philatelic Association, Inc. (TPA) from approximately 1960 to 1988. The papers are housed in two folders in one half-size manuscript box totaling .12 linear ft. The materials were re-arranged, since the collections did not arrive in an organized manner. The archivist identified five series with the first series being the Correspondence Series, consisting of letters from the Sales Department and the membership committee of the Texas Philatelic Association to Walter J. Williams. The second series, the Envelope Series includes envelopes with U.S. stamps from the TPA to Williams. Of interest is the oldest envelope from 1921 canceled with a 2 cent red U.S. stamp on the occasion of the Pilgrim Tercentary. The third series is the Membership Series containing one item of William's membership card from 1974. The fourth series is the Newsletter Series containing two issues of "The Texas Philatelist" from 1961 to 1962. The fifth series is the Sales Department Series containing an invoice of a sales book purchase, mailing receipt, the "Instructions for Handling Sales Books of the Texas Philatelic Association," and an unused sales booklet.
