 Gibaldi, Joseph, and Walter S. Achtert.  MLA Handbook for Writers of
Research Papers.   2nd ed.  New York: The Modern Language Association
of America, 1984, in Chapter 4 "Preparing the List of Works Cited",
section 4.8.10 'Letters',  say: "If you are citing more than one
letter from a published collection, provide a single entry for the
entire work and give individual citations in the text" (page 131).
 (In my case, most of the letters I want to document are in
unpublished archives, so I would want to give complete information
about the archive once, with references to individual letters
referring back to it.)
 Gibaldi and Achert recommend basing such individual references on the
model of multiple references to a collection or anthology: see section
4.5.10 "Cross-References": "If you are citing two or more works from
the same collection, you may, to avoid unnecessary repetition, list
the collection itself, with complete publication information, and cite
individual pieces by using cross-references to the main entry. In a
cross-reference, the last name of the editor of the collection and the
relevant page numbers follow the author's name and the title of the
piece." (p 88)
 All of which is to say that cross-referencing may not be priority
number one but it is potentially quite useful.
