Correspondence, 1893-1926

The Correspondence series includes letters both to and from Amoss, largely dealing with arrangements for speakers and topics for Farmers' Institute lectures. Amoss corresponded with speakers on both a formal and informal basis. He continued to correspond with several speakers even after his tenure as director of Farmers' Institutes ended.

This series also includes a handwritten letter from R. W. Silvester, President of MAC, regarding a meeting to discuss Amoss's election as director of Farmers' Institutes, as well as correspondence related to Amoss's dismissal from that position. Correspondence produced during Amoss's tenure at the U.S. Employment Agency deals with topics such as the farm labor shortage, World War I, and Negro labor. Folders labeled "Correspondence" contain miscellaneous letters to and from Amoss, including a few personal letters and some family correspondence.

Arrangement is chronological where correspondents are various, and then alphabetical by correspondent or subject.
