These items were given to the University of Virginia Library on April 26, 1995, by William A. Hoge, Richmond, Virginia.

Scope and Content Information

This collection, twelve items, 1868-1920, consists chiefly of letters to and from various members of the Hoge family of Richmond, Virginia, chiefly of the father Moses D. Hoge, a minister, to his children Hampden Hoge, Mary Hoge Gilliam and Bessie Hoge. Also included is a sepia photograph of John Tabb, Jr., Vernon Gallery, East Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia (1888), and a bill for a Franklin Touring Car (1920).

Moses D. Hoge, Vienna, Austria, sends fatherly advice to Hampden as he begins a new school (1877 Sep 3); describes a trip to England, Scotland, and Denmark, mentioning a speech he gave at the "Alliance" which caused him to receive an invitation from the queen to visit the Palace where he met the Crown Prince Frederick William Karl and his wife, Louise Josephine Eugenie, daughter of Charles XV, King of Norway (1884 Sep 3); his visit to "Rose Hill," Orange County, Virginia, his hope to see "Montpelier," and the request for him to preach at Rapidan the next night (1887 Jul 7); and a description of a severe thunderstorm viewed while staying at "The Altamont" (1891 Sep 5).

Mary Hoge Gilliam writes concerning her care of her brothers while her mother is away (1868 Jul 8); Bessie's health problems and burning thousands of old letters while cleaning in order to move (1899 Mar 10); and a fire in their home (1899 Oct 23). Hampden sends news of his and Percy Wood's conversions (1885 Feb 3); and Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson (1863-1937) writes to Hampden about an appointment (1916 Dec 5).
