The correspondence provides rich documentation for Stevenson's political activities during the 1950s and his involvement in international affairs in the 1950s and first half of the 1960s. Stevenson's enormous popularity with people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds is evidenced in his letters. He was generally quite candid in his correspondence and sometimes embarrassingly honest and self-effacing.

Series 2: Speeches, includes drafts, reading copies, final copies, newspaper clippings, press releases and published versions of speeches, statements, and interviews given by Stevenson. Although some speeches predate Stevenson's political career, the majority date from his election as Governor of Illinois (1948) and cover the subsequent seventeen years of his public and political life. Speeches are particularly numerous for those years in which he was campaigning for the presidency (1952 and 1956) or actively seeking the party nomination (1955).
