Governor Bangerter helped promote the Senior Games in Saint George. During his second term, Utah was also seeking the Olympics, and letters regarding that appear. Governor Bangerter was also active in the Republican party and in political associations, so there are frequent letters from other governors, the Republican Governor's Association, Western Governor's Association, and similar groups. Among outgoing mail, thank you notes are common for gifts received, hospitality provided, and support. These are particularly common during his campaigns, at Christmas, toward the end of a term, or following trips.
Reference letters are common throughout.
These include letters of recommendation for job and appointment seekers, students wishing to get into law school or other programs, the LDS Church wishing to expand into other countries, awards nominations, adoptions, Republican candidate endorsements, etc. Welcome letters were extended to groups meeting in Utah, particularly if the Governor could not appear in person. Letters of condolence were regularly sent at deaths, both for public figures and personal acquaintances. Economic development was a common theme in outgoing correspondence. There are letters following his Far East, European, and Mexico trips which follow through on individual contacts made.
