Material in this collection consists primarily of correspondence between officers of the local Infantile Paralysis Foundation Chapter and Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation. The subject of much of the correspondence is the local chapter's disagreement with the national organization over financial arrangements, a disagreement which ultimately led to revocation of the Sangamon County Chapter's charter. Also included in this collection are promotional materials from the Foundation.
