Correspondence and other papers

The bulk of the Correspondence and other papers series covers the years 1939 to 1960 when Boyles served as legal advisor to Governors Frank D. Fitzgerald and Luren D. Dickinson (1939-1940), and as justice of Michigan's Supreme Court (1940-1956). Boyles' correspondence includes both letters received and copies of his own letters. While much of the collection is composed of family letters, there is a large body of letters, memoranda, clippings, and other materials pertaining to state and national politics, the Michigan Supreme Court and legal practice in Michigan.
