Correspondence, 1953-1964
- Extent:
- 2.4 cubic ft.
- Scope and content:
- As a Congressman, Frank Becker interacted with his constituents continually, the most common method being through correspondence. The series documents three specific groups of individuals that Becker corresponded with: Immigrants (stamped IC on the paperwork), Servicemen (stamped SM on the paperwork), and Veterans (stamped VC on the paperwork). These are only a few of many groups of people Becker interacted with. However, Becker elected to keep this correspondence separate and the archivists maintained this order. Additionally, interspersed throughout the series are copies of original public laws, a questionnaire, and newspaper clippings.
- Arrangement:
- Arranged alphabetically by correspondence type.
