content: Correspondence includes mostly personal exchanges with family and friends, but professional communications with galleries and dealers are also interspersed. Correspondence between Clark and his wife Medora constitute a large share of the series, with a significant body of letters from Clark's time as a military photographer in World War I (1917-1919). 

Family correspondence is primarily with the artist's mother Sarah Clark during the artist's travels abroad and after settling in California in 1919. The artist's brothers, Mancel Talcott Clark and Edwin Hill Clark, are also represented. Fellow artist and good friend Rufus Dreyer appears in correspondence from Paris in 1917. 

Correspondence with Amelia (Mela) Baker, a family friend since childhood, includes letters (sometimes illustrated) and postcards from Clark, his brothers, his mother, and Medora from 1895 to 1910.
