Emil  1962 1962 1 13 12 This letter may have been written by either Emil Richard Grieco or Emil William Mozola based on the 1962 date and Hahnemann Hospital, but these are only guesses.
Sheldon & Lea Christmas 1962 Christmas 1962 1 13 12 This is very likely a letter from Sheldon Hoard Kinney and his wife, Elizabeth “Lea" Douglas Kinney, based on a mention of Doug and Bruce, both names of their children.
Ellice n.d. n.d. 1 13 12 This appears to be a letter from Ellice Endicott, who lived in Beverly Farms and sent one other letter to SEM under “Endicott” above. She mentions SEM meeting the Pope at the Balzan Award ceremony, so the letter is circa 1962-1963.
Lorraine 11/29/1964 11/29/1964 1 13 12  
Billy 12/10/1960 12/10/1960 1 13 12 In "Vita Nuova" there is a photo of a "Billy Morris" that could be this person.
Bessie Randall [Slack] 7/6/1963 7/6/1963 1 13 12 Possibly Elizabeth Bessie Randall Slack, who corresponded with William Halsted, a famous Baltimore surgeon (http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/hmn/W02/annals.html), based on letter’s mention of the friendship of her and Sam's parents, which fits the timeline.
[      ] 4/16/1962 4/16/1962 1 13 12 The letter mentions friendship with Jack McElroy and sailing, which means this may come from a Navy colleague or one of the Naval Operations research assistants.
Guillaume R.  12/12/1964 12/12/1964 1 13 12  
[Norreys] 2/8/1954 2/8/1954 1 13 12 Norreys Jephson O'Conor, poet from Santa Barbara where letter comes, graduated Harvard in ’07, taught English there, would’ve known Morison. This letter mentions “Late Offering,” a collection of O’Conor’s poems.
Everett J. [Nye] 9/??/20 9/??/20 1 13 12 This is Everett I. Nye, author of "History of Wellfleet, from early days to present time."
[      ] [Nyumheim] 4/19/?? 4/19/?? 1 13 12 The bottom says “Chanal Nyvenheim,” and the letter was sent from 164 Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. This could possibly be Édouard Chanal, who may have been a Nyvenheim. 
Bob 4/20/1967 4/20/1967 1 13 12 This is almost certainly from Robert H. Morris, lived at 27 Brimmer and worked on a collection of materials for Berwick Academy, mentioned in the letter.
L. [      ] 9/20/1971 9/20/1971 1 13 12 This letter is likely from Michel Mollat, who was on the Commission Internationale D’Histoire Maritime and wrote to Morison later, in “M”, and lived at 1 Rue Bausset, where letter comes from.
D. [Marit] 1/8/1946 1/8/1946 1 13 12 This probably says “Martinet”, though Marcel had died in 1944, so Renee, his wife, is the most likely candidate. The “D” might be an “R.” The letter mentions Marie-Rose Paupy, originally Marie-Rose Martinet, whom SEM corresponded with.
Charlie [Mow] 12/30/1941 12/30/1941 1 13 12 Very likely Charles L. Mowat, who taught history at UCLA where letter was sent from.
[      ] (SEM to) n.d. n.d. 1 13 12 The letter is a fragment from Samuel Eliot Morison, unclear to whom. In it, he discusses clipper ships.
HL 1/25/1966 1/25/1966 1 13 12 This doesn’t look like HL Mencken’s signature, though it may be him. Otherwise it could be from a Classics professor at Harvard.
George 4/14/1966 4/14/1966 1 13 12 The author is almost certainly George Norbert Kates, who lived at 39 Brimmer Street in 1967. SEM wrote to him in ’63.
Serge [Kons   ] 10/3/1946 10/3/1946 1 13 12 This letter is likely from Serge Koussevitzky, the composer and long-time conductor of the Boston Symphony, who lived at 191 Buckminster Road.

Anatole [Le Graz] 7/1/1908 7/1/1908 1 13 12 This author is likely Anatole Le Braz, who taught at Rennes (the address given here) from 1901 to 1924.
A. Lory [Brant   ] ??/14/1908 ??/14/1908 1 13 12 The author might be Henri Jean Baptiste Anatole Leroy-Beaulieu, who was head of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques in 1908 when the letter was sent.
A. B. [Hag    ] 9/23/1912 9/23/1912 1 13 12 This letter comes from Alexander Burton Hagner, Federal judge DC Circuit Court, who was retired at the time of the letter.
Philip [Hendy   ] n.d. n.d. 1 13 12 [Had to come before 1935, when Barber Institute at Birmingham was set up, the letter is asking for a reference]
[A. A. Harrod] 7/13/1946 7/13/1946 1 13 12 This is almost likely “C. C. Harrod”, rather than A. A. He appears, among other places, here: http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1951/BC-1951-07-23.pdf]
[      ] n.d. n.d. 1 13 12 This may have come from AEC. It mentions Bradford book and spelling changes for the publisher.

[W. W. Ives] 9/3/1919 9/3/1919 1 13 12  
Avis 11/18/?? 11/18/?? 1 13 12 A comparison with her letters sent to Julia Child shows this is Avis DeVoto, American culinary editor, book reviewer and cook. The letter thanks Sam for flowers after her husband's death, so circa 1955 is my best guess.
Agnes Barton [D   ] [2]/26/62 [2]/26/62 1 13 12 This seems to be Agnes Barton Dner, wife of John Dner, daughter of Randolph Jones Barton.
Dorothy n.d. n.d. 1 13 12 This could be Dorothy Shipton, C.K.'s wife, but there is no handwriting in the correspondence to compare it to.
[F. H. B. B.]     1 13 12 Friend from childhood, "tho' we have no common blood"
[Sam. WA     ] 6/20/1916 6/20/1916 1 13 12 Certainly seems to be "Sam W. ____" but rest is very difficult to decipher.
[      ] [   varella] 5/19/1913 5/19/1913 1 13 12 Very likely "Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla," who Morison might have met during his time in Paris. Bunau-Varilla influenced the location of the Panama Canal.
Wm. H. [Ardus] 8/28/1965 8/28/1965 1 13 12
