This series consists of five major divisions: general correspondence, constituent correspondence, reading files, press clippings, and material located separately at RH MS 1555. The first four divisions are arranged together on a year-by-year basis for each year Docking was in office. The final division, the RH MS 1555 addition, is arranged with general correspondence, constituents and miscellaneous correspondence, and proclamations separated into their own sub-series.

The general correspondence division contains material filed under alphabetical subject headings representing the various Kansas state departments, agencies, commissions, and boards.

The constituent correspondence division contains letters on a variety of topics (not appropriate for inclusion in general correspondence) sent to the governor and his responses: sympathy, birthday, and anniversary messages; and, in appropriate years, election congratulations.

The reading file contains a carbon copy of all letters sent from the governor's office and these are arranged chronologically by days.

The press clippings are also arranged on a daily basis and generally consist of news stories from the Kansas City Star and Times, the Topeka Daily Capitol and State Journal, and the Wichita Eagle. Other clippings, primarily editorials from local newspapers throughout the state, supplement the news stories from the major Kansas papers.
