1. Correspondence Files, 1952-1953
- Scope and content:
-
These are divided into three sections based on content of documents: general correspondence, Georgia couties, and states. Each state usually has three folder headings (political presidential state name, and two labeled with just the state name). These folders were evidently produced by Senator Russell's Senate office, Mayflower Hotel National Campaign Headquarters, and the Conrad Hilton Convention Headquarters. The Senate office folder is usually marked "Pol. Pres. [state name]" and is arranged in reverse chronological order; the Mayflower fodler is alphabetical by correspondent's surname; and the contents of the Chicago folder is generally not arranged. Documents related to the Florida Primary are also found in the Subject Files.
