This series is a yearly or bi-yearly alphabetical correspondence file, including routine correspondence (such as requests for photographs, appointments, interviews, and government publications), greeting cards, and invitations. Also included is correspondence between the Boston and Washington offices, press releases, and some correspondence on the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation. The letters also address topics of Massachusetts concern such as the Boston Naval Shipyard, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Sturbridge Village; special events such as the Truman Library Luncheon, the 1955 Hyannisport Outing, and the 1958 and 1960 campaigns; and domestic and international policy, such as North Africa, education, Indo-China (including declassified correspondence from Edmund A. Gullion). The 1955-1956 alphabetical file was constructed from two similar files for the same years, probably kept by two secretaries. The bulk of the 1958-1960 file originally came from the President's Office Files. This file (which originally was two distinct files itself) has been marked "POF" and kept apart from the 1958-1960 material which was always part of the Senator's files. At the end of the series is a carbon file of outgoing correspondence for 1960, arranged alphabetically.
In June 2005, materials from Accession 2005-187 were added to this series and placed in Boxes 1098 to 1102. This added material consists mainly of correspondence between Senator John F.

Subjects of interest include the Massachusetts State Democratic Party and Massachusetts politics in general, the 1956 Democratic National Convention, particularly the selection of Massachusetts delegates and Kennedy's bid for the Vice Presidential nomination, Adlai Stevenson's campaign for president in 1956, and Kennedy's own campaign in 1960. Also of interest is correspondence in which Kennedy discusses his research for what would become his Pulitzer Prize winning book, Profiles in Courage. Other material includes requests from the public for autographs, appointments, or assistance, transcriptions taken by Kennedy’s secretaries regarding tasks to be done, letters of congratulations to and from Kennedy, and newspaper clippings.
