http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51157557

Personal and political correspondence, appointments to postal jobs in Kansas, departmental files, program & agencies files, campaign materials, and photographs. Major subjects include the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, internal revenue, the Department of Labor, the Public Works Administration & PWA projects, and "special" correspondence. As McGill was a senator during the Depression years, much of this collection concerns the unemployment of his constituents. The Post Office files contain general correspondence as well as letters from job applicants for rural carriers. Other files in this collection deal with a wide variety of subjects. Also included are items relating to William Augustus Ayres, Arthur Capper, Charles Curtis, the Kansas Democratic Party, the U.S. Tariff Commission, and the U.S. International Trade Commission.
