The majority of correspondence is with colleagues from Montgomery's contacts at USIA, consultant work, and the many professional organizations in which she was involved.

Some correspondents included are Benny Andrews, Elizabeth Catlett (filed under "M" as Calett's letter is signed with her married name "Mora"), Willis Bing Davis, Edmund Barry Gaither, Eugene Grigsby, Dele Jegede, Samella Lewis, Nzegwu Nkiru, and A.M.
