This letter to Senator Hundley discusses a list of male taxpayers that was sent and certified by the assessor. Through the details of this list, Hutchens appears to argue about an amendment that is up for consideration in the Senate. Hutchens served as the president of Huntsville, Alabama from 1893 to 1897 and eventually Huntsville mayor from 1920 to 1922. Before 1916, the office of mayor was known as "president". Hutchens was the third to hold the title of mayor.
Hodges writes to Hutchens, his cousin, requesting help as they have hit hard times as a drought wiped out his crops, and he has no money to buy groceries or clothes. Brittain then writes to Hutchens on behalf of Hodges almost two months later requesting Hutchens' help. Brittain writes again in June thanking Hutchens for the package he send Hodges. The final letter is Hodges writing to Hutchens thanking him for the package and detailing his crops success and failure.
