The documents in this file include a plaintiff's brief by McLane, Carleton, Graf, Green & Brown and a defendant's brief by Devine, Millimet, McDonough, Stahl & Branch. Both these documents are for the 1963 Session and include notes presumably by Frank R. Kenison.

Also included are memos from 1963 from Samuel Morse Wheeler on June 21st, July 23rd, and August 23rd; Laurence Ilsley Duncan on June 21st, July 12th, and September 3rd; Edward J. Lampron on July 22nd and August 27th; Frank R. Kenison on July 25th and August 19th; and Amos Noyes Blandin, Jr. on August 16th, all discussing their opinions on the case and providing draft updates on the court judgment. Other materials include a letter from Professor Albert A. Ehrenzweig at the University of California School of Law in Berkeley, CA, to Kenison in Concord, NH, dated August 6, 1963, which thanks Kenison for sending an advanced copy of Thompson v. Thompson; a motion for rehearing dated August 1963; a letter from Kenison to Professor Moffatt Hancock at Stanford University Law School in Palo Alto, CA, dated June 7, 1965, stating he was pleased to receive a reprint of Hancock's article; and a letter from Hancock to Kenison dated June 23, 1965, thanking him for Kenison's encouraging comments on his article.
