http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56842616

General description of the collection: The Glenn I. Jones papers consist of twenty-four letters, one telegram, 2 news articles with translations, and four photographs. Eight letters from Major General (MG) Leonard Wood, commander, 10th Infantry Division, to COL Jones talk about the Jones's job as division surgeon for the 10th Infantry Division and Camp Surgeon for Camp Funston, KA, recommend his promotion, congratulate him for receiving a medal. After Wood's retirement, Wood writes about health, his service in the Philippines, and the Catholic - Masonic controversy when he was contemplating running for the Republican Party's nomination for President in 1920. One letter from COL E.H. Humphrey, Chief of Staff for the 10th Infantry Division, commends Jones for his work as Division and Camp Surgeon in training the division sanitary detachments. One telegram (18 Feb 1919) tells that the Department of War can not release Jones to become the Central Department Surgeon. Two letters from Surgeon General MG Merritte W. Ireland received while COL Jones was accompanying GEN John J. Pershing as a medical aide on the Plebiscite Commission to Chile, talk about a new drug for the treatment of amoebic dysentery, about GEN Pershing's dental problems, and department budget difficulties. Eleven letters from GEN Pershing (26 June 1928 - 11 Mar 1940) are of a personal nature and discuss Pershing's travels and health issues. One letter to GEN Peyton C. March deals with an article written by GEN March concerning GEN Pershing's service on the plebiscite commission and disputed by COL Jones. GEN March's answer to Jones is also included. One article from Chilean newspaper El Corvo accuses GEN Pershing of doing nothing for the plebiscite commission, and the second from La Aurora praises COL, then Major, Jones for his work among the local population while he served on the commission. One undated autographed photograph of COL Jones was cut from a publication. Two undated photographs are of GEN Pershing, COL Marchand, Commandant of the Chilean Carabineros, MAJ Jones, MAJ John Quekemeyer, and unidentified others during the Plebiscite Commission trip to Chile in 1925 and 1926. One undated photograph shows COL Jones and his wife Elizabeth, Dorothy Grant, and unidentified others at Kelley Field, Ft. Sam Houston, TX for an airplane ride.
