Subseries II.1: General Correspondence, 1913-1963

Scope and content:

This correspondence file ranges from early in Lehman's political career until his death in 1963. It is a mix of personal and professional letters. The documents have been filed chronologically and then arranged alphabetically within each year.

Note: Many files in this subseries contain pink cross-reference forms. It is unclear at what point in the collection's history these were added, and they make reference only to names and titles, not to location. As a result it is not always clear to what files they are referring to. Files which contain only these pink slips and no original documents have been labeled "cross reference only."
