Scope and Content Note
This series consists of invitations to Governor Herbert Lehman to attend various public and private functions and the governor's replies, usually expressing his regrets at being unable to accept the invitation. The series also includes Governor Lehman's daily appointment calendars for 1933, 1934, and 1935.
Invitations take the form of letters, telegrams, and formal printed announcements from: business and professional organizations; private clubs and associations; military units; political organizations; law enforcement organizations; religious organizations; educational institutions; and private individuals.
The invitations ask the governor to speak at or attend events such as: conferences, banquets, and receptions; charity performances and dinners; military exhibitions; commencement exercises; and weddings.
The governor's replies take the form of letters or, in some instances, telegrams, usually expressing appreciation for the invitation and regret at being unable to accept due to the press of business, previous commitments, or personal affairs.
Most of the invitations are for events scheduled for 1933, 1934, and 1935. There are also a very few invitations for events scheduled for December, 1932, before Lehman was actually inaugurated as governor.
