Foreign Correspondence
: The unbound foreign correspondence is arranged alphabetically by country or city. These files contain not only letters from employees but also letters from a few individuals who were not Singer employees who happened to reside in the country in question. Also included is some correspondence to or from Singer executives while visiting abroad. The files vary considerably in extent and completeness, but they generally represent the far-flung Singer empire. Correspondence is often more interesting during the earlier years when the nature of overseas relationships were being developed. By the 1890s the files include many more routine matters, although the most routine of the letters (generally those containing information eventually posted in the financial records) have been weeded. The most extensively documented foreign agencies include Australia, Canada, Hamburg, Germany, Scotland, London, Russia, and Spain. There is some overlap between this section and the type of material within the foreign files in the LEGAL RECORDS.
