The correspondence series contains copies of outgoing letters, incoming letters, telegrams, and clippings and other enclosures that accompanied both the incoming and outgoing correspondence. The vast majority of the correspondence, including the correspondence in the folders titled "Personal Correspondence", were generated as a result of Cyrus King's work promoting civil rights, racial justics, political campaigns of various Democratic candidates seeking local, state, and national offices, including North Carolina House of Representatives member Dan Blue; former mayor of Charlotte and Senatorial hopeful, Harvey Gantt; U.S. Representative Fred Heineman; Senator Jesse Helms; Brad Miller; journalist David Potorti; Senator Paul Simon; Janet Reno, David Price, Lauch Faircloth, W.W. Finlator, and more.

The correspondence is arranged chronologically and thereafter alphabetically by correspondent or by topic. There is a great deal of overlap between the two groupings; as a result, significant amounts of correspondence can be found from the same individuals in both the chronologically and the alphabetically arranged materials.
