content: The correspondence series consists of documentation of L.D. Webber, 1890, and circular letters from various departments with United Shoe. 

The correspondence of L.D. Webber, 1890, consists of two handwritten letters, one from John S. [Edmund?], Secretary of Pratt and Read Company to L.D. Webber of United Shoe Machinery.  

The circular letters were created by several different departments at United Shoe Machinery's offices in Boston, but most originated in the Treasurer's office.  They are typescript and were sent to the company's subsidiaries, such as the United Fast Color Eyelet Company, United Shoe Machinery Corporation of Canada, and the United Awl & Needle Company, and probably to lessees of United Shoe machines as well.  The circulars generally deal with the introduction of new machines, offers of used machines for sale, notices that United Shoe will be attending trade shows, and cover letters accompanying samples of new products.
