correspondences
Letters exchanged regularly
Correspondences is the plural of correspondence, which covers two main ideas: communication by letter or email, and the quality of matching or being similar.
A collection of letters exchanged between people is their correspondence: The museum acquired the writer's correspondences with her editor.
In more abstract use, correspondences are points of similarity or agreement between things: scholars have noted correspondences between the two ancient texts.
The word appears frequently in mystical and esoteric contexts to describe symbolic relationships between different realms of existence.
