The correspondence during White's last months consists largely of letters about him, for his health failed during the summer. There is a long reminiscence from a contemporary who had served as a New York State Assemblyman dated July 19, and one from Folwell under the same date. There is a copy of a confidential report on the European political situation made to the Carnegie Endowment and distributed to its trustees on August first, and further reports through the fall. The second segment of the reel contains a chronological collection of correspondence that was located too late in the project to be included in the proper reels. Segment three contains the collected letters of White to his close friend, Moses Coit Tyler. The originals of this correspondence are preserved in the nine bound scrapbooks of Tyler's letters in the Rare Books Department of the Cornell University Libraries. In 1881 Tyler left the University of Michigan to become Professor of American History and Literature at Cornell. The letters are dated from October 12, 1861 to July 16, 1900.
