Correspondence of Freer's assistant Katharine Nash Rhoades (1885-1965), is arranged alphabetically, and thereunder chronologically. Letters mainly concern the settlement of his estate, and her plans to print a volume of his letters. Although no publication resulted, these efforts may account for the many original outgoing letters in the collection.

Series 5: Art Inventories, 1901-1921
Inventories compiled by Freer and assistants to catalogue his collection of art objects, books, documents, and sundries, particularly in preparation for the formal acceptance of his gift by the United States government, and the distribution of his personal estate. Extant lists [mostly typescripts], and bound volumes [partially handwritten], are generally arranged by form of material or country of origin. Cataloguing may have included number assigned, country of origin, title, artist, a brief description, dimensions, cost, and provenance information such as from whom the object was purchased, where it was found, or its disposition. Many of the inventories have been annotated, sometimes by Freer Gallery staff, with subsequent series of accession numbers for the objects.
Note: Inventories labeled "reserved" may have regarded those objects set aside for further consideration as possible gifts to the Smithsonian Institution.

Subseries 6.5: Financial materials - Vouchers
Extensive documentation concerning Freer's purchases of art works and library books, commissioned publications, and miscellaneous household and personal expenses. Extant vouchers were meticulously indexed in voucher registers that listed expenditures in categories such as "art," "library," "house repairs," "gifts and charities," "Berkshire Farm," etc. Relevant correspondence and receipts were sometimes attached to the voucher. Note: Searching may be required under various voucher categories, e.g., frames are found under art vouchers and general vouchers.
