The groups include transcripts and stenographic records of examination of witnesses, hearings, arguments, trial records, motions for new trials, briefs, exceptions, and other court records. Correspondents include Herbert B. Ehrmann, Felix Frankfurter, Dudley P. Ranney, Judge Webster Thayer, and William G. Thompson.
There are additional items that were received after the completion of the processing of these papers in 1969. These items consist of holograph letters, copies of letters and clippings, reprints, and oversize items.
