Correspondence of Gordon B. Gibbens of Parkersburg, West Virginia. Subjects discussed include personal and family business,
West Virginia Republican Party affairs, and Gibbens' political appointments. Correspondents include Senators Stephen B. Elkins,

by a group of "colored" voters of Wood County for Gibbens' appointment to political office, and another letter (1898 January
17) is a similar endorsement by a group of Wood County Union veterans.
