The collection consists of 65 letters written between Catlett Conway and family members during the years 1892-1920.

Conway and addressed to Catlett. In addition to contemporary content (family news, employment, social critiques, politics, and literature), Catlett also writes of his Civil War experiences and discussions with other Civil War veterans.
