The main correspondents during this year were A. W. Lehman, Jerry Cimera, Gene La Barre, and Frank McGrann. There is a letter from J. Howard MacDougall who was selling Ernest Fox house after his death, and telling Bridges that Fox's record collection had been sold to a dealer from New York. He also talked about what an awful life Fox had and what a job it was to get the house cleaned out for sale. There are also many requests for audio tapes from Bridge's collection. There is an honorary membership card for the Long Beach [California] Municipal Band dated August 29, 1954 and a Musician's Purchase Card expiring on December 31, 1954, which was a benefit of being a member of the Detroit Federation of Musicians Local No. 5.
