Letters include social correspondence to admirers and students as well as letters discussing literary and artistic matters. Of particular interest are those to Arthur Burdett Frost, Pyle's friend and fellow illustrator, the artist and engraver Sidney Lawton Smith, and Pyle's publishers Chas. Scribner's Sons and Harper Brothers. Among other recipients are the authors Edmund Clarence Stedman and Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, John Ferguson Weir, art professor at Yale, Peveril Meigs, Jr., Fred Holland Day, and a Mrs. Fairchild. An illustrated letter from Merle Johnson thanks Pyle for signing books in his collection, and a letter from Anne Poole Pyle discusses a drawing of her husband's. The collection also includes a manuscript poem, " A nymph of Diane" by Pyle's sister, Katherine Pyle; a photograph of Pyle clipped from a magazine; and an original oil painting illustrating a scene from "Jack Ballister's fortunes."
