Arranged into three subseries: Capitol Office Alphabetical, Capitol Office Chronological, and District Office. The first subseries is arranged alphabetically by last name of the recipient of the correspondence; the second and third are each arranged chronologically by the date the correspondence was sent.

Correspondence consists entirely of letters sent from Assembly Member Eaves to others. The two series containing Capitol Office correspondence consist largely of letters from Eaves to other members of the Legislature, such as the Speaker and various committee chairs, typically regarding legislation proposed by Eaves. District Office correspondence consists largely of letters from Eaves to constituents in his district, regarding controversial issues of the day, both local and statewide. Researchers looking for a clearer picture of Eaves's political ideology will find some items of interest in the correspondence files; Eaves was very forthright with his constituents regarding his position on issues such as gun control, business regulations, and education.
