Iwan-Muller was assistant editor of the Pall Mall Gazette and later a leading figure at The Daily Telegraph, for whom he served as correspondent during the South African War, in Ireland, and in the reporting of the international crisis following the Austrian annexation of Bosnia. He was the author of Lord Milner in South Africa and Ireland Today and Tomorrow, and was widely regarded within political and journalistic circles, enjoying professional relationships with figures such as Arthur Balfour and Lord Salisbury. Known in the press world by the sobriquet “the genial giant”, he occupied a prominent position within the Edwardian journalistic establishment.
 
The letters, written in the weeks following his death, convey formal and personal expressions of sympathy to his surviving mother and sister, and collectively document the breadth of his professional and social connections across the British press, diplomatic service, political clubs, and military institutions.
