Sharp's letters to Gest describe his life in Montana, the progress of his work, orders for painting supplies, and news of Mrs. Sharp and mutual friends. The 1904 letter, written from San Francisco, relates that he has delivered his work to Mrs. Hearst. In his letter to Frank Duveneck, Sharp asks advice on painting technique, describes activities of the local Indians, and includes a pencil sketch of a Crow woman. With the exception of the 1904 letter, the letters were written from Montana on Crow Agency Hotel and J. D. Sherburne, U.S. Licensed Trader, Browning, Montana, letterheads.
