A collection of personal correspondence of Christian T. Christensen, chiefly letters addressed to him. Included are letters received by Christensen on the occasion of his retirement from the Army in June 1865, a few official communications and personal letters received by Christensen during his war service, and a telegram from James T. Holtzclaw negotiating the surrender of Mobile, Alabama (April 1865). The post-war correspondence includes letters from Eunice Ward Beecher and Henry Ward Beecher, Lyman Abbott, William Tecumseh Sherman, and others, chiefly concerning his charity work and Civil War experience. Also included are Christensen's military commissions and other documents, an address entitled "Women's influence" that Christensen delivered at the Working Women's Club on November 10, 1887, and a letter soliciting donations for the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute signed by Booker T. Washington (1904).
