Correspondence is arranged alphabetically – either by last name of the sender or addressee (in the case of private correspondence) or by the name of the business or organization concerned (in which case the names of individual correspondents will occasionally appear in parentheses).  Letters both from and to each correspondent are intermixed and arranged chronologically within each correspondent’s folder.  Letters that are neither from nor to Cyrus Colter have been filed under the name of their sender rather than their addressee; where possible, the recipient will appear in parentheses.
