These files primarily contain correspondence with individuals and organizations outside ABC. The initial correspondence is not attached. (Correspondence of a personal nature document the financial and logistical household arrangement including obtaining a housekeeper; camp registration for daughters; school deposits, etc.). Much correspondence concerns invitations accepted or declined, thank you letters for gifts, particularly gifts made to UCP; acknowledgments of donations to charities. The bulk of all outgoing correspondence for the months of December and January consist of thank-you notes for holiday gifts.

Congratulatory Correspondence consists primarily of brief notes of a personal or business acquaintance nature (generally from individuals outside of ABC) recognizing an honor or award. These records include letters and telegrams with occasional newspaper or magazine clippings.

Notes inserted throughout correspondence particularly from the 1960s indicate the removal of pieces of correspondence. These notes consist simply of legal notepaper with the initials C.P, the date of the correspondence and the names of the addresser and addressee.

Correspondence and internal memoranda pre-dominate, but there are also newspaper and magazine clippings, reports, charts, pamphlets, scant photographs, promotional material, contracts, scripts, and transcripts, bulletins and newletters, charitable campaign literature, and related material.

Note: A selection of burned General Correspondence originating from or to LGH from 1958 and 1959 was found separately from the bulk of the series. It appears they were mis-filed or interfiled with other records (Stations and Treyz Correspondence from the same time period.)
