content: Letters date from 1950s-1970 and are primarily from Loren MacIver to Harold Leeds, who was caretaker of her and her husband's home in the West Village during their stays in France. While mainly logistical in nature, MacIver does describe aspects of her daily life in France, and her and Frankenberg's friendships with prominent figures including Margaret Barr, Elizabeth Bishop, Pierre Matisse, and James Johnson Sweeney. MacIver typically signed the letters from herself and Frankenberg, using "L, L" or "LoLo" for Loren and Lloyd. A few other letters are found here, including one to Lloyd Frankenberg.
