This series consists of documents associated with Peterson's work and life in Ailey, Georgia, before, during, and after his service in the United States Congress. The material includes information about his ownership of the Monitor Publishing Company (publisher of the Montgomery Monitor and the Thomasville Press) as well as his legal work including law suits, divorces, collections, and parole cases. Peterson also owned an insurance agency from 1919 through 1935 that represented Fidelity, Hartford, and New York Life. While his local interests included traditional agricultural pursuits via the Ailey Gin Company and the Vidalia Gum and Turpentine Company, Peterson spent much time helping to establish and run the Ailey Shirt Company, Southland Securities, the Montgomery County Bank and the Mt. Vernon Bank. Regionally, Peterson's development activities involved a radio and television station and the revival of the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah, which lost its entire fleet in World War II. The items are organized into the following categories: A. Business, B. Financial, C. Construction in Ailey, and D. Family. Each subseries contains supplemental information to other series in the Peterson Collection as explained in the subseries descriptions. A. Business
Business correspondence from the 1920s contains political material from Peterson's work in the Georgia General Assembly during this period although he kept the majority of his business and political correspondence separate during and after his time in Congress. Alphabetical subject files from 1947 through 1961 contain correspondence and notes. Although Peterson kept separate sets of alphabetical files dating from the late 1940s through the early 1960s, each set is no different from the others and was not separated by date. Original order has been maintained in these sets, hence the sets are designated by a number within the sub series.Material includes information about Peterson's ownership of the Monitor Publishing Company (publisher of the Montgomery Monitor and the Thomasville Press) including correspondence with Herman McBride, who ran the Monitor while Peterson was away in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.Material also pertains to Peterson's early legal work, which consisted of law suits, divorces, collections, and parole cases, including those of local African-Americans. His business ventures also included an insurance agency that he owned from 1919 through 1935, which represented Fidelity, Hartford, and New York Life. While many of Peterson's local business interests were in the form of traditional agricultural pursuits such as the Ailey Gin Company and the Vidalia Gum and Turpentine Company (now VNS Corporation), he spent much time and effort helping to establish and run the Ailey Shirt Company, Southland Securities, the Montgomery County Bank and the Mt. Vernon Bank. Outside of Montgomery County, Peterson's development activities involved creating a radio and television station based in Savannah, Georgia. After World War II, he worked to revive the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah, which had lost its fleet in the war although the company finally liquidated in 1951. From the 1950s until his death in 1961, Peterson concentrated on a mining interest in Sylva, North Carolina. 1. General

This series consists of documents from Peterson's service in the Georgia House of Representative from 1922 to 1930 and the Georgia Senate from 1931 to1933. He was a major architect of the state reorganization bill, first in the House and later in the Senate, which became law in 1931 under Richard B. Russell's governorship. The items are organized into the following categories: A. Correspondence, B. Subject Files, and C. Legislation. A. Correspondence
The correspondence files contain a large amount of information involving the mechanics of Georgia state government in the 1920s and early 1930s from legislation and research to key players and personalities. The majority of correspondence was originally kept in a series of 5 letterboxes that contained both letters received and copies of Peterson's responses alphabetized from 1923 through 1934. Among those with whom Peterson corresponded are Walter F. George, John Slaton, Eugene Talmadge, Roy V. Harris, E. D. Rivers, Thomas Hardwick, and Lamartine G. Hardman. Communication between Peterson and Richard B. Russell, Jr. is especially profuse and ranges from Russell's early bid to be Speaker Pro Tem in 1924 to patronage in his first years in the United States Senate. In the series of letters from 1923 to1928, there is correspondence regarding the governor's race in 1926 as well as the condition of prisons in the state and the prospect of road building. Peterson's correspondence from 1929 through 1931 is primarily concerned with the Committee for State Reorganization, in which he was an active participant during his service in both the Georgia House and Senate. The letters are from a variety of writers around the state ranging from high-ranking state officials to civic groups defending specific departments under scrutiny in the reorganization process. Many letters are from average citizens letting Peterson know that they support his efforts. In the late portion of correspondence from 1932 to 1934, Peterson recommended many people for government positions both to Senator Russell and Governor Eugene Talmadge and discussed his two runs for United States Congress in 1932 (in which he was defeated by Homer C. Parker) and 1934, in which he won. box folder Request box III.1 1 [Correspondence, undated] III.1 2 [Correspondence, 1923] III.1 3 [Correspondence, 1924] III.1 4 [Correspondence, 1925] III.1 5 [Correspondence, 1926] III.1 6 [Correspondence, 1929] III.1 7 [Correspondence, A, 1922 – 1926] III.1 8 [Correspondence, B, 1922 – 1926] III.1 9 [Correspondence, C, 1923 – 1926] III.1 10 [Correspondence, D, 1924 – 1926] III.1 11 [Correspondence, E, F, 1922 – 1926] III.1 12 [Correspondence, G, 1923 – 1926] III.1 13 [Correspondence, H, I, J, 1923 – 1926] III.1 14 [Correspondence, K, L, 1922 – 1926] III.1 15 [Correspondence, M, 1922 – 1926] III.1 16 [Correspondence, N, O, 1922 – 1926] III.1 17 [Correspondence, P, Q, 1924 – 1926] III.1 18 [Correspondence, R, 1924 – 1926] III.1 19 [Correspondence, S, 1922 – 1926] III.1 20 [Correspondence, T, U, V, 1923 – 1926] III.1 21 [Correspondence, W, 1922 – 1926] III.1 22 [Correspondence, A, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 23 [Correspondence, B, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 24 [Correspondence, C, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 25 [Correspondence, D, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 26 [Correspondence, E, F, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 27 [Correspondence, G, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 28 [Correspondence, H, I, J (Folder 1 of 2), 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 29 [Correspondence, H, I, J (Folder 2 of 2), 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 30 [Correspondence, K, L, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 31 [Correspondence, M, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 32 [Correspondence, N, O, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 33 [Correspondence, P, Q, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 34 [Correspondence, R, S, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 35 [Correspondence, T, U, V, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 36 [Correspondence, W, 1926 September 22–1928 January 1] III.1 37 [Correspondence, January – April, 1931] III.1 38 [Correspondence (folder 1 of 3), 1931 May] III.1 39 [Correspondence (folder 2 of 3), 1931 May] III.1 40 [Correspondence (folder 3 of 3), 1931 May] III.1 41 [Correspondence (folder 1 of 2), 1931 June] III.1 42 [Correspondence (folder 2 of 2), 1931 June] III.1 43 [Correspondence (folder 1 of 4), 1931 July] III.1 44 [Correspondence (folder 2 of 4), 1931 July] III.1 45 [Correspondence (folder 3 of 4), 1931 July] III.1 46 [Correspondence (folder 4 of 4), 1931 July]] III.1 47 [Correspondence (folder 1 of 2), 1931 August] III.1 48 [Correspondence (folder 2 of 2), 1931 August] III.1 49 [Correspondence, A, 1931 July – 1931 December 31] III.1 50 [Correspondence, B, 1931 July – 1931 December 31] III.1 51 [Correspondence, C, 1931 July – 1931 December 31] III.1 52 [Correspondence, D, 1931 July – 1931 December 31] III.1 53 [Correspondence, E, 1931 July – 1931 December 31] folder Request folder OS III J.J.

Subject Files
The subject files consist of publications, reports and audits from state agencies. The majority of the material was gathered for Peterson's work on the reorganization of Georgia's state government, first in the House under the governorship of Lamartine G.

Subject Files, and E. Patronage. A. Correspondence

This subseries relates to Peterson's work on the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, the Committee on Public Lands, the Committee on Territories, and the Committee on Roads. Peterson participated in several trips with these committees including a trip to inspect certain national parks in the western United States in 1943 with the Public Lands Committee and an extended trip to Texas, California, Washington, and Alaska in 1945 with the Rivers and Harbors committee. In 1946, Peterson went to Central America to inspect the construction of the Pan American Highway with the Roads committee. These official trip files contain several maps (that have been removed to Series VII, Maps) of states, national parks and countries in Central America, some of which are marked.

Legislation
This subseries contains drafts and final prints of Peterson's proposed bills and amendments as well as committee reports for legislation. His primary piece of legislation, H.R. 8286 A Bill to Provide Homesteads Free of Debt for Actual Farm Families, was originally introduced in 1936 and survived multiple sessions in the House of Representatives. In its committee report on the bill, the Subcommittee on the Public Lands of the House of Representatives found that no national land legislation allowing persons to claim homesteads had been passed since the Homestead Law of 1862 and the rate of farmers carrying mortgages had risen exponentially from 1890 to 1930 as had the rate of tenant farmers over owner-operators, which appeared to be a direct correlation with the amount of free land left for Americans to claim. Peterson's goal was to help American farmers during the Great Depression with their farm debt. The Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, which funded low-interest loans for tenants so that they might become land owners and created the Farm Security Administration, was passed in the late 1930s and is thought to be the reason for the death of Peterson's land proposal in the House. box folder Request box IV.6 16 Amendments offered by Mr. Peterson of Georgia to H.
