The correspondence is in chronological order; fragmentary and undated letters have been arranged at the beginning of the file. Most of the correspondence is indexed, correspondents of note being A.W. Blaxall, E. Russell Brayshaw, Edgar Brookes, Patrick Duncan, Rev. S.W. Grant, A.J. Haile, Francis W. Hirst, Jan H. Hofmeyr, Charles T. Loram, Sir Charles Mortimer, Alan Paton, Sir James Rose-Innes, Emory Ross, Lord Sanderson, Whitney H. Shepardson, Maurice Webb and Sir Alfred Zimmern.

Mr Rheinallt Jones died on the 30th January 1953; therefore most correspondence after this date was concluded by Alan Norton, his colleague, and most letters received after this date are letters of condolence.

Included are a few Christmas cards (nos. 400-406) and two poems, one entitled 'Drought', signed Famsi and bears the date 14.7.1933 (no. 407). The other poem is entitled 'Square Hill' (no. 408).
