The John Ervin Jesseph Fort Walla Walla Collection, consisting of three items, spans the transition of Fort Walla Walla from an active military post to a veterans’ hospital. The correspondence book is presumed to contain copies of letters sent by officials at the fort from August 1864 to October 1965. Most describe the transfer of receipts, contracts, reports, and supplies. The building records describe the function, features, dimensions, repairs, and modifications made to buildings on the Fort Walla Walla site between 1906 and 1918. A photograph accompanies the description of each building. The Report of the Officer of the Day includes a description of the duties accompanying that position. Daily reports from May 1922 to November 1924 include brief descriptions of activities and a summary of the number of patients admitted, discharged, transferred, and deceased each day.
