"Appearances and Declines" refers to requests to the Governor to attend a specific event. If he decided to accept the invitation, the correspondence was filed with "Appearances" according to the date of the event, and any supplementary correspondence was attached to the initial invitation. If he did not accept an invitation the correspondence was filed under "Declines" chronologically by the date of the response. Also in this series are weekly schedules made up by the Governor's office and schedules for special events such as inaugurations.
