Subseries: Bound Letterbooks
Scope and Content Note: All of the bound correspondence within the INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE has been microfilmed, and the originals destroyed. Each volume was filmed in its original order, which was arrangement by date of receipt in New York City rather than the date on which the letter was written. As a result, many volumes contain overlapping coverage. Where indexes existed, they have been filmed preceding the volume to which they relate. These letterbooks are arranged into general and foreign sections.

General
Scope and Content Note: The general category contains letters received in New York during the period December, 1861 to 1879. Prior to March, 1869 the files contain letters from both foreign and domestic sources; after that date the foreign letters were separately filed. The general section contains letters from agents, offices, factories, and customers concerning orders, shipments, repairs, prices, employment, and other financial matters. Most letters are routine in content, but there are occasional items of greater interest such as activity reports from agents and employees, discussions of local business conditions, and offers of new inventions. A few scattered letters addressed specifically to Inslee Hopper and Edward Clark may be found in this section.

Miscellaneous Volumes
Scope and Content Note: This section of the INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE consists of several special volumes of letters addressed to George McKenzie; a volume of letters addressed to L.B. Miller, the superintendent of the Elizabethport factory; and a volume of letters written by George E. Bacon while he was engaged in work as a traveling examiner for the company. Within McKenzie's material the third volume contains many letters written to him by J.W. Seymour, who appears to have been a traveling examiner for the company before this position was formally established by the company. Seymour's letters have been collected to reconstruct the letterbooks in which they were originally written.
