This series mostly contains professional correspondence with museums, clients, and other art dealers. Cologne correspondence consists of business correspondence with lawyers, art dealers, and clients in Cologne, Germany. Most of the Cologne correspondence is written in German.

Notable correspondents include Benjamin Abraham, Leon Anthony Arkus, A. L. Cole, Robert Tyler Davis, Roland de France, Martin Friedman, F. Cleveland Morgan, Ivan N. Podgoursky and Gordon Bailey Washburn.
