Chiefly correspondence from John Bassett Moore, an American authority on international law who was a member of the Hague Tribunal, re recollections of Civil War politicians and generals, Civil War historiography, Johns Hopkins University, the New Deal, and the Supreme Court; other correspondents include historian Douglas Southall Freeman and S.C. native James F. Byrnes Two letters, 5 and 17 Sept. 1944, Millbrook, N.Y., from John Bassett Moore, lamenting the decline of constitutional law in the U.S., referring to Franklin D. Roosevelt's third term as "the unpatriotic breach of the second-term tradition, established by George Washiington ...," and expressing regret that [Harlan] Stone, "once my colleague at Columbia University, has, since his elevation by F.D.R. to the post of Chief Justice, joined the gang of new appointees in destroying the landmarks." Letters from Freeman acknowledge his acceptance of membership on the board of the Equitable Life Assurance Society in April 1943. Letters from Jimmy Byrnes chiefly relate to a trip to Columbia, S.C., to accept an award from the American Legion, 6 July 1942.
