Special correspondence, 1920-1950

This small subseries contains "special correspondence" culled by Brayman from his other files throughout his career. Copies of these originals are found in some other files in the collection. The series includes some correspondence deemed special for purely sentimental reasons and many letters from prominent individuals. Several of the items document milestones in Brayman's life such as appointments, promotions, pay raises, pay cuts, his marriage, and the births of his sons. There are letters from editors Hans Adamson at the New York Evening Post, and C.M. Morrison and Stanley Walker at the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger. In addition to several letters from Charlie Tutt (Brayman's brother­ in-law) , there are also letters from Joe Kennedy, Wendell Wilkie, Anthony Eden, Anna Roosevelt Boettiger, Cordell Hull, H.L. Mencken, c. Douglass Buck, Richard Nixon, Caleb Boggs, Clark Clifford, Ira Eaker, and Mary Martin.

The special Christmas cards include a similar assortment of cards from prominent people which Brayman had saved over the years.
