Series 4, FRANK WATERMAN STEARNS PAPERS, 1868-1930 (bulk 1915-1930), is organized into four sub-series:
A. Correspondence, 1870-1930 (bulk 1915-1930), which is further sub-divided into two groups:
1. Correspondence with Calvin Coolidge and his Aides, 1915-1928 and n.d.
2. General Correspondence
B. Writings, 1915-1930 and n.d.
C. Photographs, ca. 1875-1930
D. Other Documents, 1868-1919
Sub-Series A, Correspondence, is the most significant here, as it documents F. W. Stearns' long friendship with Calvin Coolidge and the Coolidge family and his strong support of Coolidge's political career as he progressed from State Senator in Massachusetts (1911) to Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts (1915), to Governor of Massachusetts (1918), to Vice-President of the United States (1920), to President (1923-1928).
