- In this one-page, handwritten letter, Warren Hubert Moise writes to Marion Cobb Gerdine, thanking her and her husband, his nephew E. Warren Moise, for a book they sent him as a Christmas gift. W. H. Moise notes how the book brought back memories of the time he spent with the widow of Senator Clement C. Clay of Alabama.
