Correspondence from Edward Price Bell to friends, colleagues from the Chicago Daily News, other associates in the newspaper business, and American and foreign political figures. Much of the correspondence from Bell's final years consists of query letters to publishers, some of which he signed with the aliases Rak Parke or Eric Bellamy.

Letterpress books at the end of the series include correspondence with Chicago Daily News editors and officials during Bell's time as a foreign correspondent based in London. The final book contains mostly expense statements.
