JMS Letterbooks
The John Marshall Stone Collection consists of two (2) letter books containing copies of Stone's correspondence from 1893-1899. The books, housed in two separate boxes, are in fair condition, though their bindings have been torn. As such, the materials have been digitized and are made available through the Mississippi State University Libraries Digital Collections. Correspondents include the President of the United States, various federal and state officials, governors of other states and United States Senators. Other pieces of correspondence contain information about Stone's service in the Confederate army, focusing on his experiences at the Battles of Antietam and the Wilderness.
