For this ten year period there are 364 dated letters and 28 incomplete letters lacking front date page. The letters are an ongoing correspondence between White and Gamage which covers all aspects of problem chess. The letters show a development of mentor White encouraging ad occasionally prodding his protégé Gamage in developing skills in problem construction. As the letters progress over this ten year period the reader can observe the relationship develop between the two men from a formal intercourse to a more comradely banter.

White's vast and profound technical knowledge his artistic appreciation his ability in expressing himself and his enthusiastic and friendly encouragement were the great inspiration of many problems Gamage constructed and he was lucky enough to be among his host of correspondents. Some of the letters were multiple pages hand typed but often hand written some unsigned or just initialed usually with the location White was residing and the date written.
