Additional Description

Container Summary

1 Typed Letter Signed from Mattie U. Russell, Duke University, to Henry Bartholomew Cox, expressing her discomfort toward a "gentlemen's agreement" among archivists, librarians, and collectors on replevin issues but hoping that, if it were the only basis on which differing viewpoints toward replevin could be resolved, that most heads of public archival agencies would consent to abide by such an agreement.
