The Correspondence series, 1911-1987 (3 linear feet), is arranged into two subseries: General and Topical. The General subseries is arranged first by year and then alphabetically within each year. The Topical subseries is arranged alphabetically. The correspondence are comprised of both incoming and outgoing letters, the latter written by the director and various employees of the gardens. The letters are quite informative and are an important source for studying the evolution and growth of the gardens and its relationship to other major botanical gardens around the country. The continuation of this series, beginning in Box 12, is organized alphabetically.
