Date: 1909 - 1997
Description: This series contains mainly editorial correspondence but also general correspondence of the company. They are arranged in a rough chronological order and then alphabetically by author or subject.

There are some early files available, such as the correspondece of Mark Twain (CW 565) and some early papers regarding the history of the company (CW 591), but little other author correspondence has survived, although there are a few author letters pasted into the letterbooks of letters sent by the company (CW A).
