The OTHER Person in Moe Fishman's File

As a possible idea for a topic, I decided to research someone unknown, someone without a finding aid, and organize and annotate their file to make it easier for later researchers. Court Bevensee, a vet who's papers are squished into Moe Fishman's collection because he and Moe were friends, fit the bill. His papers consist of tons of letters to and from his sister and brother in law describing the Depression at home, Court's injury and subsequent hospital stay, and his journey home from Spain as it became clear that he would not return to the battlefield. The photos of Court show a mysterious looking man, someone I would imagine in a spy movie: Tall with a shifty look in his eye and a big, round head; easy to pick out in a crowd. A socialist, his letters discuss the worker strikes of the day while his sister laments about their tight economic situation; in one letter, she describes how she and her husband leave for a two-week vacation but run low on money a few days into it and are forced to seriously cut down their spending and start to think about just giving up and heading home early. Throughout the letters, his sister constantly speaks of her plans for him to stay with her upon his return, but apologizes time and again for her small house and their failed attempts to move to a larger home. Court does end up coming back early, returning to New York in February or March of 1939 after spending almost a year and a half in the hospital suffering from severe leg injuries which involve metal lodged in his leg, the removal of bone, nerve paralysis, and a fracture or two. Unlike the letters we read in class, in which the veteran stops writing until he leaves the hospital so as not to worry his family with his sickness, Court complains about his boredom, his loneliness as one of the only English-speakers in the hospital, the one International Brigade woman who brings him a couple Daily Workers and some candy, and his neverending call for more reading material. His brother in law teases him about his love for reading, but Court is totally serious, being bored out of his mind having to lie in bed all day for months on end. He was injured on June 20th, 1937 in Brunete, after just arriving in Spain, but despite the severity of his injuries, he managed to live well into his 80s in Westchester County, New York. I have only looked at a fraction of the letters and some of his photographs, and would like to come back to research more. Do you think this could work for a research project and how do you suggest going about it?
