Letters, 1892-1926, mainly from prominent individuals who corresponded fairly regularly with J. H. Davies, together with a file of letters, 1892-1926, from J. H. Davies, and a file of letters, 1916-1926, from J. H. Davies to M. H. Jones. The letters cover a very wide range of subjects and themes. For details of the subjects covered, see the file level descriptions.

Most of the letters, 1897-1926, relate to academic and research matters, many of them bibliographical queries, or to J. H. Davies's researches and publications. Some concern professional matters and developments at the Cardiff Free Libraries and later the National Library of Wales where Ballinger was the first chief librarian. Some of the later letters relate to the establishment and early growth of the National Library and to Davies's membership of its court, council and internal committees. There are many references to the National Library's campaign to secure the status of a copyright receipt (legal deposit) library and to wrest improved funding from the exchequer, and some to the deposit of the early archival collections and printed works at the Library. There are a few references to family life. A few of the letters from the Cardiff period are written by Harry Farr on behalf of Sir John Ballinger.

The letters, [1914]-[1919], refer to the events of the First World War and to developments at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, notably the teaching of music at the college.

The letters, 1896-1916, are generally very lengthy giving full accounts of their author's activities and travels.

His activities and difficulties at the Welsh Library are discussed in some detail. Some of the letters discuss John Glyn Davies's reading and researches and some his prospective applications for posts.

Most of the letters, 1896-1899, are short, giving family and personal news intermingled with reports of political life at London and other news. There are also several references to their research work on Morgan Llwyd. A few of the letters have enclosures from other correspondents.

The letters, 1896-1905, relate primarily to printing and publishing matters, notably the publication of Y Brython Cymreig, produced at Lampeter, and The Journal, based at Carmarthen, both of which H. Tobit Evans edited. J. H. Davies published items in both newspapers. The letters also refer to contemporary events in Wales, especially in the educational and political world, and the publication of various Welsh books. Some of the letters arrange meetings between Davies and Evans.

The letters, 1900-1926, refer mainly to their author's research work, editorial work and publications, including his reviews.
