Correspondence of Kathrine R. Everett, R. O. Everett, and Robinson O. Everett. The business, political, legal, and personal correspondence of Kathrine R. Everett and R. O. Everett continues with the addition of personal correspondence of Robinson Everett, away at school at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., and, later, at Harvard University, where he received his A.B. and went on to Harvard Law School. Also included is family correspondence from when Kathrine and Robinson went on trips to Mexico and Cuba. In 1951, Kathrine was elected member of the Durham City Council, and this election is reflected in the correspondence for that year. From 1951 to 1953, Robinson's personal correspondence with his family documents his time spent in Texas serving in the Air Force as a 1st Lieutenant, JAG. Then, in 1953, his letters are written from Washington, D.C., where he was appointed to the United States Court of Military Appeals. Much of Kathrine's political correspondence involves Durham City Council issues, while much of R. O. Everett's political correspondence is concerned with absentee voting in North Carolina. In 1954, letters document the Everett family's becoming the first father, mother, and son to be admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.
