Series III: General Correspondence,, 1944-1966

Summary:General Correspondence folders contain correspondence between Cameron and personal friends, copies of thank you letters sent to library donors, and correspondence with companies from whom materials were ordered. These folders also contain letters of recommendation written by Cameron, requests for information about job candidates, and correspondence with the many libraries Cameron advised. Extensive documentation of library donations and acquisitions is provided through the many thank you letters written by Cameron to donors detailing the donation. Authors of letters that appeared frequently in the General Correspondence folders were extracted and given their own folder, which is now in the Subject Files series. An attempt was made to keep letters written by the same person together within a folder. Letters by correspondents of particular interest can be found by looking in the folder with the first letter of his/her last name.
