Green's correspondence file includes copies of most of his outgoing letters, as well as his incoming mail. It contains virtually no personal information, but documents Green's fieldwork, his writing and publishing, his constant search for primary sources for Berrien County history, and, to a lesser extent, his MAS activities. The correspondence details, too, his long relationship with several members of the archeological profession: John Witthoft of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the American Archeological Society; E. F. Greenman of the University of Michigan Museum of Archaeology and editor of the Michigan Archeologist (MAS); James Fitting of the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology and successor to Greenman as editor of the Michigan Archeologist; and James Hibbard of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the correspondence is the light it sheds on the relationship between amateurs and professionals in archaeology. For all of his credentials, Green remained always conscious of being "a 'Sunday afternoon archeologist, '" and he remained either diffident or defensive in his relations with all Ph.D.s, no matter how long he had known them. On the other hand, his position was that of intermediary between the two worlds, and the professionals seemed to value him precisely because he served as their bridge to the public and vice versa.
