Letters from Douglass's good friend M. J. Elrod and others from the University of Montana, from contacts in Montana in connection with his fossil hunting, and from friends. Much of the correspondence is from Oscar J. Craig, president of the University of Montana, relating to fossils Douglass collected in the summer of 1900 which caused considerable controversy.
