Andrew Henry Patterson papers, 1902-1925; 1964 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26180465

The collection includes correspondence of Andrew Henry Patterson and members of his family, and weather records made by Patterson. Included are family and personal letters of Patterson; his parents, Mary E. Fries and Rufus L. Patterson; and his grandparents, Phoebe Caroline Jones and Samuel F. Patterson. Among the earlier letters are some apparently written in North Carolina during the Civil War by Samuel F. Patterson and others about impressment of crops and livestock, rumors of Union Army movements, and the advisability of travel. The majority of the later letters are from Andrew H. Patterson in Chapel Hill, N.C., to his mother, giving news of his family, the University of North Carolina, and life in Chapel Hill. There are seven volumes, 1908-1920, of daily records of temperature, rain, and wind at Chapel Hill. The records were kept by Patterson as a cooperative observer for the United States Weather Bureau.
