Manuscript Collections (letters, meeting minutes, reports) Sec. 17.6.4:

Use quotations for specific titles, not generic titles such as reports or meeting minutes.

For letters, cite the author of the letter followed by "to" and the recipient.  Chicago style assumes it is a letter unless further identified as memorandum, telegram, etc.
