It also includes correspondence between Small and Powell, and Powell-related correspondence Small conducted immediately after Powell's death. There is both original and photocopied correspondence, from many prominent political figures, including Richard J. Daley, Paul Douglas, Otto Kerner, Scott W. Lucas, Adlai Stevenson, William Stratton, and Harry S. Truman.
