Papers include: Correspondence (1939-1948) written by Dr. Gilbert to his daughter, Dorothea Gilbert, a child-welfare social worker in Shreveport, Louisiana. A few letters are addressed to Gilbert's brother, Jess. Letters contain Gilbert's opinions on social work, sociology, psychology, philosophy, spiritualism, public welfare, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and racism in the South. They also comment on his duties as a physiology instructor at the Dental School of North Pacific College (later the University of Oregon Dental School), as well as personal matters, including his estate planning, vacations, publishing attempts, and illness. Letters reflect Gilbert's volatile relationship with his only child. Collection also includes a copy of Gilbert's book, "True and False Sex Alarms" (1916), which discusses human sexuality, sexually-transmitted diseases, masturbation, sex education, and prostitution.
