This collection consists mostly of correspondence, a few financial records, and a handwritten play excerpt. The bulk of the letters are from Edward's wife, Leah, and his mother, Mattie, to him while he served an LDS mission in Germany from 1906-1908. (Leah and Mattie were living in Logan during that time.) There are a few other letters to Leah and his mother from various people in 1914 and 1923. The correspondence are personal mission letters which talk about loved ones and everyday experiences. The letters are organized in folders by the name of the recipient and then are arranged chronologically by date.
