The papers reflect the effect of World War II on the homefront. Most of the papers relate to rationing: gasoline, tires, fuel oil, and meat. U.S. Office of Price Administration blank forms include a receipt for emergency transfer of gasoline, a special application for rationed food commodities (1942), and a Class 3 slaughterer's compliance statement (1945). Miscellaneous documents include, a 1942 Vermont car registration, a 1943-44 car insurance policy issued by Harold S. Dana, Inc. Insurance, Woodstock, Vt., several receipts for gasoline from the Sinclair Refining Company (1944 & 1945), and an undated blank application for a non-resident weapon permit (Canada). Clinton Demeritt, Principal of the Woodstock Junior-Senior High School, wrote a letter to Robinson, May 29, 1945, to request that Gilman, (his son?), return to school instead of staying home to help his father.
