I think you may be referring to Benjamin Oliver Davis, 1912-2002 and not Benjamin Omar Davis.
You may want to log in to the National Archives Catalog https://catalog.archives.gov/login (or register for an account if you don't have one) and add a comment in the authority record for Benjamin Oliver Davis https://catalog.archives.gov/id/10570829 mentioning the location of his papers. This information would be very useful to other researchers.

Re: General Benjamin Omar Davis
No, the Father was Omar, the Gen who wrote the letters I researched. Oliver was his Son.

Re: General Benjamin Omar Davis
I must check the dates. 1912-2002 would certainly be the time period for the Son. The letter was about a black troop who was shot and killed. Jenkins. It was Gen Davis who wrote a 244 page letter that is at the Carlisle way barracks, not Nara, CP. This happens but the bottom line is finding the letter. Oliver, Omar, if your correct on the middle name, I stand corrected.
