Correspondence and messages, 1950 - 2013

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series contains material of two somewhat different types: correspondence, and messages. When the materials for a given year are not separated into separate groups of correspondence and messages, the folders for that year contain chiefly correspondence.

  • Correspondence: Folders labeled "correspondence" chiefly contain materials of all types sent through the mails. Correspondence folders also contain occasional items identical to those in the "messages" folders
  • Messages: Messages sent over wire between Jameson and the Los Angeles times offices. Messages folders also contain occasional items of correspondence

    Additional Description

    Arrangement

    The separation of materials into "correspondence" and "messages" is as found in the Jameson papers at the time of processing. Although the arrangement of messages in each folder is generally chronological, the materials of a given type for a given year should not be assumed to be in any particular order. Items with no date have generally been allowed to remain in the context in which they were found
