The letters cover Belknap's activities in the West Superior enterprises and the street railways in Asbury Park and Indianapolis, as well as his later work on behalf of the National Guard, the Presbyterian Church, and several social clubs. There are several letters concerning his summer homes at Sea Bright, New Jersey, and Huntington, Long Island.
