This series contains correspondence and telegrams sent between local defense councils and Thomas L.J. Corcoran, the secretary of the Council of Defense (predecessor to the New York State War Council), or Charles Poletti, the Lieutenant Governor and State Defense Coordinator. Correspondence from the local councils usually notified the State Council of Defense of local office appointments or requested information on policies. In some cases, entire lists of local defense council personnel are found. Carbon copies of correspondence sent to the local councils found in this series usually provide information on meetings, programs, or clarification of regulations.
