The correspondence subject files in subseries 3 remains true to its original order, though researchers should note that the original arrangement appears to have been contrived by the organization itself in the second half of the 20th century. The correspondence found here focuses on a wide range of topics, and derives largely from the 19th century. Subjects of local concern, such as urban development, New York City harbor defense, and sanitation are noted. National issues related to commerce and industry also figure into the correspondence in this subseries; the Chamber's involvement with the establishment of the first transatlantic cable, international canals as a means of transport, national currency, interstate commerce, and government offices are all subjects addressed here. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by subject.
