The noun is a direct nominalization of the verb 'correspond' meaning 'to exchange letters', forming the concrete noun 'the correspondence' for exchanged letters.
Etymology
Correspondence comes from the Latin parts com- 'together' and respondere 'to answer', the same root as respond. A helpful image is two people 'answering' each other by letter, which is why correspondence means the letters or messages they exchange.
