The correspondence includes one condolence letter from Montana Senator William A. Clark and six other personal letters from Gov. John E. Rickards. Of particular interest is a letter from Reno, Nev., resident J.W. Redington, a former comrade of Woodward's who also served in the Nez Percé War. Redington's letter discusses his service and his application for a pension. The financial papers include William Woodward's bank statements and various receipts relating to him or his adult children. The legal documents consist of land deeds, water rights, mining claims, and estate papers, some of which pertain to Roy A. Callan family of Beaverhead County, Mont. The relationship between the Callan and Woodward families is unclear.
