| Language: | Materials in English.

Humphrey's correspondence reflecting a variety of public contacts, friendly letters,
acknowledgments, congratulations, responses to constituent requests, and quasi-official social
activities, as well as comments on current issues and on Humphrey's positions and actions as
Senator, and some information on the management of his senatorial office. Individual correspondent files generally are for either
special friends or compulsive letter-writers. These files are extant
only for 1949-1957 and 1963-1964. Except for a few 1958-1961 office management files (Box
22), no similar files for the intervening period were received from the Humphrey office. Some of
the correspondence is that of his legislative counsel Max Kampelman (to approximately 1956) and of
administrative assistant Herbert J. Waters (after approximately 1954). A few Health Subcommittee and
campaign materials are included in the 1963-1964 files.
Constituent requests are for such things as Agriculture Department yearbooks, autographs
and photographs, federal government documents, Senate passes, items to sell at fund-raisers, and
to be placed on the mailing list for Humphrey's newsletter. Because of their volume and
repetitiveness, they were retained only selectively: for 1949-1951, during which they were
sparse; and in their entirety for 1952 and 1954, to illustrate the range of requests and the nature of
the Humphrey office's response. They progressively diminished in quantity in this series
beginning in 1956. Newsletter mailing list files were retained where they contained a high
proportion of commentary on the newsletter or on Humphrey.
Public relations files were present in quantity only for 1955-1957 and 1963-1964. Those for
1955-1957 were sampled in varying ratios, as noted on the file list; those for 1963 were retained;
those for 1964 were disposed of. They consist largely of congratulations – for baby births,
weddings, anniversaries, scholastic achievement, and attention in local newspapers for a variety
of civic and commercial activities or accomplishments – but also include condolences, thanks for
materials sent to the Humphrey office, and general friendly messages. It should be noted that the
general files in this series include additional public relations and request correspondence.
