The Correspondence series includes letters written by Schoening to James Oliver Curwood (seeking literary advice of the author and screenwriter from Owosso, Mich.) and G. Cameron-Émslie (a request for the recipient, an editor at Physical Culture Publishing Corporation, to consider the manuscript of Red Biz). Also included is a letter from one S.G. Randall, a manager at a saw mill in Westwood, California (and personal acquaintance of Schoening and his wife), detailing his experience implementing Schoening's saw hammering methodology.

The Essays series includes various short, nonfiction works on written by Schoening on both philosophical and practical topics. These include "The American Soul Aflame" (a treatise on America's embodiment of humanist ideals and democratic values), "The Price of Fun" (an incomplete piece that explores issues of leisure and class), and "What Is Business?" (a review of modern capitalism and social inequalities). "Scientific Saw Hammering" lays out an alternative methodology for straightening and tensioning large saw blades and reflects Schoening's experience in the lumber industry.
