This correspondence mostly accompanied royalty checks, and reports on the state of the tour, and business in general. A letter from 1892 requests that Dowling be allowed "first crack" at Locke's upcomming play "Uncle Dan'l", and one dated 1898 refers to "Life Guard". This correspondence is not in chronological order at this time. Correspondence from J.J. Dowling to E. A. Locke in folders 6.1-5.</physdesc>
