Portée et contenu
This class contains virtually no extended exchanges of correspondence, as the great majority of letters are incoming, with very few carbons of Adams's replies. The content is essentially mathematical; chiefly requests for Adams's advice or comments on specific problems, reflecting Adams's high standing in his field. Of special interest is the extensive correspondence from M. F. Atiyah, M. G. Barratt, P. J. Hilton, I. M. James, A. Liulevičius, S. Mac Lane, and C. W. Wilkerson.
