This subseries is arranged alphabetically in the finding aid; some of these files were labeled by Klein as "working files" and where possible, the original order has been maintained in the rehousing. However, these materials are not substantially different from other material placed in this series. Klein's filing system was generally chronological. Personal material was filed with professional material, e.g., receipts for personal travel mixed with receipts for travel to conferences, information on automobile purchases filed with car rental information from professional travel, personal financial documents filed in the same group with professional membership information, etc.
