John Leonard Pilcher Papers, Series III: Miscellaneous File
|

|
Creator: |
Pilcher, John Leonard, 1898-1981. |
|
|
Dates: |
1953-1964 |
|
|
Contents: |
The Miscellaneous File acts as a partial name cross-reference file for Series I. Legislative, IV. Personal, V. Political,
and VI. Post Office. It is a partial cross-reference file because not everything that is in the Miscellaneous File is in the
series it cross-references, and vice versa. The Miscellaneous File may only have a copy of Pilcher's reply to a letter, the
letter but no reply, or both the letter and its reply together. Individuals may be found under their own names or under the
organization they represent. The files in the series reflect constituent opinions on the topics of the day, their requests
for information and assistance, various projects for the benefit of the Second District that Pilcher undertook, and Pilcher's
relationship with both federal and state agencies. Items of special interest include letters to and from U.S. and state legislators
such as Richard B. Russell, Herman Talmadge, Carl Vinson, E. L. Forrester, Iris Blitch, and J. Willis Conger (State Senator,
8th District); material from Pilcher's Executive Assistant, John W. Ellis; a 1958 letter from Pilcher to the National Historical
Wax Museum in Washington, D.C., detailing an anecdote about Carl Vinson; the Griffin Bell file, concerning his appointment
to the 5th Circuit judgeship--he later became Attorney General (1977-1979) under President Jimmy Carter; and material about
the Atlantic Union, a plan to create a commonwealth including North America and Western Europe in which Pilcher was interested,
and about one of its most ardent advocates, Mrs. Chase S. Osborne.
