Inside, alphabetical tabs are provided to seperate correspondence. "Village of Saugatuck" is written on the cover and "Mar 1 - 1918" is noted on the spine.

Many of the documents found in the S.A. Morrison Post Office desk at the Saugatuck Woman's Club were in this box although it is not clear if they were originally placed there or ended up in the box over the years.
