http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/274204849

The collection consists chiefly of letters written by Glass to his parents Powell and Anne Glass while touring Europe and continuing his studies at the London School of Economics, 1938-1939. Topics include a French military review; classes in London; visiting the Astors at "Cliveden,;" vacationing in Switzerland and Sweden; Swedish labor unions; the Czech situation (written three days before the German invasion); rising German militarism; and travels through Italy, Austria, Hungary and Yugoslavia. Senator Carter Glass and Senate Secretary Leslie L. Biffle are occasional correspondents as are other family members and high school friends many of whom comment on a hunting accident of Powell's.
