The bulk of Bowers' correspondence deals with inquiries pertaining to government positions and appointments, especially relating to the federal judgeship for the Chicago district. Some of the cases discussed in the correspondence are: Barber & Moon Lumber Company Case; New York Harbor Pollution Case; and the Montana lands, Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Department. Bowers' correspondence, of a semi-official nature, encompasses the year 1909-1910. The bulk of the correspondence deals with letters written to Bowers with only some of his replies contained within. These papers were found among the William J. Hughes Jr. Papers and, due to Bowers' position as Solicitor General, they warranted a separate collection.
