content: This series consists of general correspondence and business correspondence. Business correspondence mostly relates to notifications of appointments to positions within the Copley Society, such as Treasurer and Secretary, as well as letters regarding expenses, taxes, and legal matters. Some letters also cover the subject of nominations to various committees and outlining the Copley Society's various activities, organizational structure, and responsibilities. General correspondence includes letters from notable artists such as Cecilia Beaux, Frank W. Benson, John Singer Sargent, Karl Bitter, John W. Alexander, Walter Gay, Kenyon Cox, Frank Duvenek, Louis Kronberg, and many others, though it's usually just one letter each.
