Series: Incoming Correspondence : The INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE, which consists entirely of material received in Singer's New York offices, is divided into unbound letters, bound letterbooks, and a few miscellaneous items. The letterbooks exist only on microfilm. The bound and unbound sections of the incoming correspondence contain similar material, and there is no evidence from either external or internal sources to explain the existence of the two apparently parallel files.
|
|
|
Subseries: Unbound correspondenceUnbound correspondence is subdivided into domestic and foreign files, with the domestic portion further subdivided into agency files and general files. The agency files are then arranged alphabetically by office name, with the majority of the files pertaining to central branches. For New York City, there are separate files on the City Agency, the County Agency, the Art Department of the City Agency, and the Manufacturers' Agency. In addition, this section contains correspondence from the Elizabethport and South Bend factories. (The latter also contains some material concerning the establishment of a factory at Cairo, Illinois.) For each agency the files document only the period from the 1880s to the early 1900s. In general, the correspondence of the 1880s deals with policy, while the later files concern more routine matters. (Weeded from the files were very routine correspondence concerning accounting, problems with individual machines, personnel matters, legal transfers, and office rentals; however, correspondence concerning personnel problems, general trade conditions, occasional labor difficulties, charitable contributions, salary increases, district boundary changes, sales statistics, local legal matters in which the company was involved, and legislation has been retained.) Unfortunately, material forwarded to the New York office (such as subagencies correspondence and reports) are generally not included. Taken as a whole, however, these files provide an excellent source for examining the domestic business climate in which Singer operated during the later part of the 19th century and the manner in which policy and fiscal information flowed within the corporate structure.
|
|
|
Domestic : The unbound general domestic correspondence is arranged chronologically, and it covers the period 1851 to 1915 although the majority of the files cover the period from the late 1880s to the late 1890s. Although there is some overlap with other incoming correspondence elsewhere in the collection, the majority of these letters come from people who are not employees of the Singer Company.

Foreign Correspondence : The unbound foreign correspondence is arranged alphabetically by country or city. These files contain not only letters from employees but also letters from a few individuals who were not Singer employees who happened to reside in the country in question. Also included is some correspondence to or from Singer executives while visiting abroad. The files vary considerably in extent and completeness, but they generally represent the far-flung Singer empire. Correspondence is often more interesting during the earlier years when the nature of overseas relationships were being developed. By the 1890s the files include many more routine matters, although the most routine of the letters (generally those containing information eventually posted in the financial records) have been weeded. The most extensively documented foreign agencies include Australia, Canada, Hamburg, Germany, Scotland, London, Russia, and Spain. There is some overlap between this section and the type of material within the foreign files in the LEGAL RECORDS.

Miscellaneous statistics for foreign activities

Micro 2014
|
Subseries: Bound Letterbooks : All of the bound correspondence within the INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE has been microfilmed, and the originals destroyed. Each volume was filmed in its original order, which was arrangement by date of receipt in New York City rather than the date on which the letter was written. As a result, many volumes contain overlapping coverage. Where indexes existed, they have been filmed preceding the volume to which they relate. These letterbooks are arranged into general and foreign sections.
|
|
|
General : The general category contains letters received in New York during the period December, 1861 to 1879. Prior to March, 1869 the files contain letters from both foreign and domestic sources; after that date the foreign letters were separately filed. The general section contains letters from agents, offices, factories, and customers concerning orders, shipments, repairs, prices, employment, and other financial matters. Most letters are routine in content, but there are occasional items of greater interest such as activity reports from agents and employees, discussions of local business conditions, and offers of new inventions. A few scattered letters addressed specifically to Inslee Hopper and Edward Clark may be found in this section.

Miscellaneous Volumes : This section of the INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE consists of several special volumes of letters addressed to George McKenzie; a volume of letters addressed to L.B. Miller, the superintendent of the Elizabethport factory; and a volume of letters written by George E. Bacon while he was engaged in work as a traveling examiner for the company. Within McKenzie's material the third volume contains many letters written to him by J.W. Seymour, who appears to have been a traveling examiner for the company before this position was formally established by the company. Seymour's letters have been collected to reconstruct the letterbooks in which they were originally written.
