The papers consist primarily of correspondence from various family and friends, addressed to Mrs. Raymond L. Culli, especially between 1940 and 1948. These letters generally express how the families are, with some mentioning World War II, St. Louis professional baseball, and inflation. Other items include postcards, business papers and various miscellaneous papers, which include correspondence without envelopes and/or missing pages of the letter. Additionally, there is a small group of correspondence dated 1910-1920 between Charles Gibson and Lena Stockman Gibson of Belleville, who were Norma Culli's parents.
