This subseries consists of correspondence that Jovanovich filed chronologically, including both personal and business correspondence. For the years 1948 to 1952, correspondence consists of photocopies rather than the original letters, and there is a gap in correspondence during the mid-1950s. Correspondence for the late 1990s and 2000s is increasingly personal in nature.
