Elizabeth: There are two broad types of "correspondence" that might be used as sources: A collection of old family letters, or modern communications with family members and co-researchers in which they provided information about your line. I assume you're referring to the latter. In that case, the Source List Name would simply be the name of the sender/provider; the Type could be Correspondence, or even Communication, as Mary suggested (I wouldn't have separate master sources for letters, e-mails and phone calls from the same person). The Repository could be "(Your Surname) Family Records" or whatever you like. If you have multiple items from the same person, that's all you would enter as a Master Source. Then going to the Source Clipboard, you would select the master source and enter the details (date of the communication and text or abstract). If you have only one item from a person, you could enter all of that information directly at the Master Source screen instead of using the Source Clipboard, although you'd probably pull it on to the Clipboard if you wanted to attach that source to several different people or fields.
Hope this helps to clarify.

Is the source type "e-mail"? or the name of the sender?
