Description

The Chronological Correspondence subseries contains brief correspondence from Kennan or his secretary to the general public, scholars, journalists, and publishers. The correspondence is in response to letters from these individuals, although copies of their letters are not present. Many of these letters are of a standard form, with the most common expressing gratitude for articles sent to Kennan, appreciation for praise about Kennan's writings and ideas, or notifying the correspondent that Kennan is out of the country. Other common subjects include brief responses to articles sent to Kennan, correspondence with Kennan's publishers about proofreading issues and logistics, responses to invitations for Kennan to speak, write or attend events (most of which were declined), travel arrangements, and providing letters of recommendation.
