Chiefly the correspondence of Pollock while a student at Yale, U. Va. and a soldier commanding his company, the James River Rifles, in the brigade of Henry Alexander Wise.

Va., and professor James Philemon Holcombe. Pollock moved to Shreveport, La., in 1860, to practice law, and then went in to the C.S.A. army. Correspondents are: among the Pollock family, Abraham David Pollock, his father and a Presbyterian minister of Leeton Forest, Fauquier Co., Va.; his mother, Elizabeth Gordon Lee Pollock, his brother Charles Lee Pollock; and friends and others, including, Edward C. Anderson, M. Boyce, Douglas French Forrest, Edward Livingston Martin, Meriwether Randolph, John Scott, and Robert I.
