- Scope and content:
-
This subseries (14 cu. ft.)can be seen as a continuation of the Personal Papers, 1929-1987--Series 2.1.1 GeneralCorrespondence, 1932-1971. Like that earlier series, this correspondence ranges widely in correspondents and subjects. Unlike the earlier letters, Powell is much more reticent to give opinions on political and legal matters because of his position on the Supreme Court. Many exchanges with the same correspondents continue on from the earlier series.
