No full textLetter from Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Wilkinson regarding their son, Captain Charles Wilkinson, as a prisoner of war.Menard Texas Nov 11- Dear Mr Carter - I've a recent letter from my son Captain Charles Wilkinson he mentions your son's name among others as being on of the Texas boys in the same prison camp with him. The card was dated Aug 30. from camp Oflag 64 - I have heard since then quite indirectly that the boys from this camp have been moved to Stalag Luft 3. Do you have any such official information? Our son was captured at (?) last Jan. he managed to escape from the temporary camp but was recaptured before he could reach the Allied lines and was sent to Oflag 64. in May - we had a short letter from larry Allen after he was sent back to the states saying the boys were treated fairly well. however he wrote as if they did not have enough food. we have of course sent all we have been allowed to send. There dos'nt seem to be much reason for writing to you. only knowing our sons are enduring the same hardships give me a feeling of waiting to write and hoping you could give me some news or information of their life there that we have failed to hear - and if you could write us any thing we would be so very grateful. Very Sincerely, Mr & Mrs Charlie Wilkinson Box 264 Menard Texa

Wilkinson letter discussing Indian Affairs and drills
No full textLetter dated September 14, 1879 from Capt. M. C. Wilkinson to Joseph W. Marsh.
Marsh was a professor at Pacific University and was functioning as its interim president at the time of this letter.
Wilkinson was the founder of the Forest Grove Indian School. He was a U.S. Army Officer who had formerly served as an aide-de-camp to General O.O. Howard. At the time of writing this letter, he had been granted a "special detail" assignment by the U.S. Army, which allowed him to serve for three years as a Instructor in Military Science at Pacific University. This role allowed him the time to open the Forest Grove Indian School under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs.
In this letter, Wilkinson asks Marsh to put him in contact regarding 'Indian Affairs' with Dr. George H. Atkinson, who was the Secretary of Pacific University's Board of Trustees. He is likely referring to discussions related to starting the Indian School in Forest Grove, which would open in February, 1880. Wilkinson mentions that he will soon be attending the wedding of General O.O. Howard's daughter, and thus will not be present at Pacific University for several days. Wilkinson provides a schedule for when he will next be in Forest Grove to teach military drills
