On personal letterhead, Strode chats about an upcoming appearance before the New York Civil War Round Table (of which Gates was a long-time officer) and asks that tickets be sent to "a former student of mine [who] is now the publicity head of Colgate-Palmolice and the President of the University of Alabama Alumni in New York" and also notes "Naturally I am delighted to know that my friend, the eminent Bruce Catton, is to introduce me."

Hudson Strode (1892-1976) was a renowned creative writing professor who spent his entire career at the University of Alabama, but among Civil War scholars is considered one of the premiere Jefferson Davis scholars for his 3-volume biography (1955-64).
