Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The R.C. Dillon papers pertain mostly to Dillon's two terms as Governor of New Mexico, 1927-1931. They include correspondence regarding election campaigns, letters to individuals, and general gubernatorial correspondence. Of particular note is correspondence with politicians and public officials such as Senator Bronson Cutting, Manuel B. Otero, Treasury Officer, and tax lobbyist M.L. Fox. General political papers include transcripts of speeches given and files concerning state business and public agencies (1927-1931). Other materials in the collection include newspaper clippings and memorabilia related to Dillon's governorship. Personal correspondence after Dillon's tenure as governor is included in the collection, but these papers maintain a political tone and emphasize Dillon's on-going involvement in the Republican Party (1931-1944). The collection does not contain much information pertaining to Dillon's business interests prior to or after his terms as Governor, although one file of correspondence with Frank Bond for the period 1928-1935 is included.
