Papers, 1925-1983.

The papers are a mix of business and personal items. They show the importance of contacts formed in college, journalism, and aviation in Rochford's subsequent career as a publicist. However, while there are individual letters from the likes of Elmo Roper, Edward Land, Henry Luce, Robert McCormick, Gene Tunney, Herbert Hoover, Lowell Thomas, and Eddie Rickenbacker, they do little more than show the range of Rochford's connections. More substantive are letters from Yale classmate William Benton of Benton & Bowles, who aided Rochford in his switch to publicity.
