Chiefly correspondence; 98 letters to Howe were either written in thanks for his books, mainly Muscles of the Eye (1907-1908), or were written in 1925 to congratulate him on the celebration of his 50 years in the practice of medicine. Letters by Howe mostly respond to the 1925 event; a few discuss his laboratory. The 50 letters to his wife express sympathy on his death or thank her for the book she wrote about him. Third party correspondence pertains to the 1925 celebratory dinner for Howe. Also contains a few articles and abstracts by Howe, correspondence with Mrs. Howe concerning the Lucien Howe Library of Ophthalmology, memorials, and a scrapbook of clippings.
