No full textThis letter was written by Henry Adams Jr. to his father, Henry Adams, expressing his feelings and experiences during his time in the army. Junior, as he was called in the family, had been posted to Alaska after his basic Army training, and assigned to an otherwise all-white company.

Harry Truman issued an executive order intended to end segregation in the Army in January of 1948, and letters such as this indicate that the executive order took some time to become fully effective

Ontological and value incommensuration: Marilyn McCord Adams on medieval and modern approaches to theodicy
No full textThe Medievalist and philosophical Theologian Marilyn McCord Adams argues that the standard treatments of evil in Anglo-American philosophy of religeon are overtly abstract respecting both evil and God. She contends that the typical focus on moral evil detracts from attention to horrendous evils, or horrific individual suffering, which is the most difficult class of evils to reconcile with the Christian faith. Adams also argues that we can satisfactorily account for why horrors occur and how God can defeat them if and only if we interpret God and creatures as being ontologically incommensurate, which precludes the commonplace among analytic philosophers that divine goodness is moral goodness. on Adams's interpretation, these moves will require substantial reworkings of traditional Christian teachings on sin, eschatology, and related doctrines

Adams, stationed at the Adams Building in Boston, Massachusetts, in response to an inquiry from Ms. Anna Pemberton -- working on a "Life" (or biography) of Benjamin Lundy -- as to whether the collection contains correspondence between Lundy and John Quincy Adams. Charles Adams responds to Pemberton, informing her that an investigation has been undertaken, and, 33 letters are available for her research between Lundy and John Quincy Adams. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals.
