The Interregnum: November 1954 - April 1955 (13 folders) series is comprised of correspondence that falls in that period after Ferguson's defeat for re-election and before his taking over the Philippines Ambassadorship. It is arranged chronologically by month and year, and covers a variety of rather routine matters. The researcher should note, however, that in the November 1954 files there is interesting constituent mail regarding both the Senator's defeat and the censure of Joseph McCarthy, and enlightening replies from Ferguson (although brief and form letter in nature).
