Historical NoteReturn to Top
1960 Democratic presidential campaign organization supporting John F. Kennedy, in the state of Washington. Henry B. Owen was the state chairman.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The records of the JFK Washington State Presidential campaign consist almost entirely of correspondence from 1958-60 drawn from the files of Senator Kennedy's office. There is both incoming and outgoing correspondence, the latter being entirely carbon copies. Incoming correspondence is occasionally annotated with brief outlines of the reply; a few of these annotations are from JFK and others from members of his staff. These include Ted Kennedy, Lawrence O'Brien, Theodore Sorenson, and Stephen E. Smith, all of whom occasionally also appear as authors of letters. The incoming correspondence is principally expressions of support from citizens and discussions of campaign appearances from Democratic Party functionaries; the outgoing is mainly brief responses and thank-you letters.

Arrangement
When the records were received, they were roughly grouped in alphabetical order according to the name of the sender, or addressee for outgoing correspondence. This arrangement was preserved as "general correspondence", except that preparation of the material for microfilming required a more careful alphabetical arrangement and a chronological arrangement of the letters under each name. Also, letters on Democratic Party letterhead (and replies) were grouped as state or county party correspondence. Some clippings sent by supporters to Senator Kennedy are also included in the records.
