| Summary: | Much of the correspondence is concerned with different coal properties in Alabama and Tennessee that were available for investment. There are also letters from people wanting information on the quality of coal at different mines. Letters from John H. Bankhead, Sr., about an unspecified coal deal can be found in the correspondence, as well as correspondence from D. H. Bacon of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company; T. H. Burbidge of the Corona Coal and Iron Company; and W. T. Adams of the Adams Machine Company in Corinth, Mississippi. In addition, there are letters from people who were trying to interest Jackson in purchasing farm property, including some from R. F. Kolb in Montgomery, suggesting that Jackson might want to buy a plantation that belonged to the elderly Caroline Lomax. The letters are arranged alphabetically by last name, though some have been misfiled throughout the collection.
