The letters concern a range of topics, including mining; Georgius Agricola's De Re Metallica; a conference on radio held in 1925; and municipal planning. The correspondence also includes responses to speaking invitations and greetings.

Manuscripts
This small group of items includes seven letters by Herbert Hoover to four different addressees: Frederick A. Delano, Bern Dibner, George Zabriskie, and Mr. Hohnhaus (the only letter written while Hoover was President is the one to Delano). There is also a note by Delano regarding the letter he received from President Hoover. Most of the letters are about trivial matters such as Hoover thanking the person for some favor. Also in this small group of items are three signed printed speeches given by Herbert Hoover, including his inaugural address (1929), "This Crisis in American Life" (1948), and "The Inheritance of the Next Generation" (1961).
