All of the letters are signed by Frank Lyman, who appears to have been manager of a company that operated the Dolly Ann and other mines. While most of the letters are addressed to John S. Ham, who seems to have had direct responsibllity for the Dolly Ann Mine, there are also letters to buyers of ore, especially in Pittsburgh.
