Size (2 folders). feet of linear shelf space (approximately 50 items)
Abstract Charles Albert Chapman, apparently a Virginia native, attended the United States Army's Command and General Staff School of the General Service Schools at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., 1925-1926. In 1926, he began a tour of duty as an instructor at an Army school in Hawaii. In 1931-1933, he was at various Army camps in Illinois. Agnes Gray Butterworth, also from Virginia, taught school in Hampton, Va. An undated business card included in the collection suggests that she may later have been an interior decorator with the Hecht Company in Washington, D.C. Chiefly letters, 1925-1934, from Chapman to Butterworth during his time at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Letters are addressed to "Buttercups" and are mostly chatty, flirty courtship letters that give little information on the activities of either correspondent.
