In his letter dated in 1910, Radenković adviced Rakić how to provide legal help to Serbian population in the Old Serbia. In the letter dated in March 1912, Radenković has informed Rakić on participation of Serbs in the elections in Ottoman Empire and on the work of Serbian opposition. Two last letters are dated in September 1912, and were written at the same day. They refer to details of forthcoming secret scout mission in the Old Serbia in the eve of the Balkan War.
