content: Correspondence includes nine letters to Rose Lamb from her former teacher William Morris Hunt. Eight of his letters describe in detail his work on the painting of murals in the Capitol building in Albany, New York, and one letter discusses his painting of portraits in North Easton, Massachusetts. Also found in this series are 19 other miscellaneous letters sent to Rose Lamb from friends and acquaintances, including artists Howard Pyle, Albert Sterner, Ross Turner, and Charles H. Woodbury; writers Anne Thackeray Ritchie, Margaret Deland, and Alfred Noyes; and historians John Fiske and Albert Bushnell Hart. Also found is a typed invitation sent to her from Henry James. Topics of letters include replies to invitations, thank-you notes, and other general news. 

Also found here, but not scanned, are photocopies of letters located at other repositories, including four letters from Mary Cassatt and one letter from Childe Hassam. 

There are also four letters to Aimée Lamb, Rose Lamb's niece. Letters to Aimée Lamb consist of two letters from art historian John Frost and two letters from Harvard University Library. These letters inquire about Rose Lamb's friendship with the novelist Sarah Orne Jewett.
