Sub-series Description

Arranged alphabetically by letter and by subject, this sub-series contains Leonard F. Herzog’s personal correspondence files. The files in this sub-series mainly document Herzog’s personal affairs. Herzog’s opinion’s regarding political and economic issues of his time (especially those affecting his business interests) and his involvement with civic organizations are also documented here.

Smaller, but noticeable, numbers of files containing Herzog’s correspondence with United States politicians, Pennsylvania state politicians, and members of his family are also present in this sub-series. Small numbers of files containing correspondence with various persons and entities, including, but not limited to friends, United States government agencies, Pennsylvania state government agencies, and civic organizations are preserved here as well.

Letters make up the bulk of the materials in the Correspondence Files. Small amounts of accompanying materials, including, but not limited to, magazine and newspaper articles (mostly photocopies), financial documents (invoices and statements), legal documents, internal memoranda, and a few photographs are found in this sub-series as well.
