Scope and Content Note

This series consists of a database created to index and track the incoming, (1999-2006) and outgoing, (2002-2006) correspondence of Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer. Information about each year's incoming paper correspondence is grouped within a single table, as is information about each year's outgoing paper correspondence. Each table contains the following information: reference number; date of receipt of letter; date of letter; log date (typically blank), correspondent's last name, correspondent's first name, correspondent's title, correspondent's organizational affiliation (sometimes blank), correspondent's address (sometimes blank), correspondent's phone number (sometimes blank), and the subject of the correspondence. Additional fields document staff actions: person to whom correspondence was forwarded; date of forwarding; person to whom correspondence was referred; date of referral; summary of actions taken; response date; and remarks. The database also includes a table named "Labels, " which staff apparently used to generate mailing labels.
