Appendix: List of Correspondents
The following is a partial list of Germer's correspondents. It is intended only as a rough guide, not an index. The papers include letters from many important labor leaders and other persons whose names do not appear on this list. Germer corresponded with officials of most of the unions mentioned elsewhere in the inventory and the shelf list, and all of the CIO regional directors within his territory.
The dates given are not exclusive; in most cases they are only approximate. If only one or two letters from a particular individual occur, the specific dates are given where possible, but other letters may be present. If more than a few letters are present, only the approximate beginning date of the correspondence is given, with a “+” to indicate that correspondence continued for a number of years; again, these dates are not intended to exclude the possibility of earlier correspondence being present.
Where correspondence is fairly extensive, the dates are followed by a double
asterisk (**).
