This manuscript album comprises Korean-language correspondence sent by King Hyojong (1619-1659), King Hyeonjong (1641-1674), King Sukjong (1661-1720), Queen Consort Inseong (1618-1674), Queen Consort Myeongseong (1642-1683), and Queen Consort Inhyeon (1667-1701) to Princess Sukhui (淑徽公主), the fourth daughter of King Hyojong. Princess Sukhui married Jeong Je-hyeon (鄭齊賢), a minor official of the Yeounil Jeong clan. The album contains thirty-six pieces of correspondence: two from King Hyojong, three from King Hyeonjong, six from King Sukjong, eighteen from Queen Consort Inseong, two from Queen Consort Myeongseong, and five from Queen Consort Inhyeon. The original mounting remains intact, with 'Manuscript Album of Royal Correspondence, Volume 2 (Kun)' inscribed on the cover, indicating the album originally consisted of paired volumes (Geon and Kun). According to the 1802 Korean-language identification note by Jeong Jin-seok (1779-?), descendant of Jeong Je-hyeon, documented details regarding the collection's origins note that the 'Geon volume contains the calligraphies of four predecessors' (referring to the correspondence preserved at the National Cheongju Museum from King Hyojong, King Hyeonjong, Queen Consort Jangryeol, and Queen Consort Inseong) and the 'Kun volume contains the Korean correspondence of six sovereigns' (referring to correspondence at Gyeongmyeong University's Dongsan Library from King Hyojong, King Hyeonjong, King Sukjong, Queen Consort Inseong, Queen Consort Myeongseong, and Queen Consort Inhyeon). The Korean calligraphy style matches those inscribed 'Calligraphy of [monarch]' at the National Cheongju Museum, indicating these albums were originally mounted as paired volumes forming a complementary set. This album constitutes precious material for examining Joseon royal Korean-language correspondence alongside the National Cheongju Museum's 'Album of Royal Correspondence from Queens Sukmyeong and Royal Consorts,' the Ojukheon Museum's 'Relics Related to Princess Myeong'an' (Treasure) containing Korean correspondence from King Hyeonjong, Queen Consort Myeongseong, and King Sukjong, and related albums.
