Correspondence is arranged chronologically, with letters from 1897-1899 in one folder and those 1900 in separate folders for each month represented.

The detailed item-level description below was begun and left incomplete a number of years ago by a former City Archives employee. Given the very small size of this collection, we have continued this item-level description in completing the processing of these records. Each letter is identified by its date, its recipient, its correspondent, the place where it was written and its subject matter. The number of pages is also given, along with the designation "typewritten" or "handwritten."
