http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53649622

Correspondence between Stratton and his professional acquaintances and associates and between these acquaintances and associates themselves. There is an 1892 letter endorsing the abilities of Arthur Capper as a young Kansas Republican as well as a letter dealing with agriculture and public opinion about the United States involvement in World War II. A large number of the letters in this collection are those of Arthur Capper while he was a United States senator. These discuss everything from his personal business to advice, speeches, and public business. A large part of this collection is correspondence in relation to the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) The collection contains papers describing the different projects undertaken by Kansans. These include the Museum Assistance Project and the Public Health Project. Summary sheets of W.P.A. projects give the location of the project, project number, and the amount of federal funds allotted for the project & number of workers employed as well as a brief description of the job. As Capper was also involved with W.P.A., there is some correspondence between him and state administrators.
