content: Correspondence consists primarily of letters to Emma Beach Thayer. Beginning around 1880, at least ten years prior to Kate Thayer's death, Thayer's letters to Emma discuss his relationship with her, family matters and day-to-day affairs, Thayer's artwork, and his thoughts on a wide variety of subjects. Also found is 1 folder of letters to Kate Thayer and 3 folders of correspondence with the Thayer children and other family members such as Thayer's parents, and nephew, Richard Fisher. 

Many of the letters are hand-written originals, with some hand-written and typed copies. Copies of family correspondence, arranged chronologically, can be found in 3.2.3. Folder dates indicate the dates of original letters, even when the folder contains only copies of those letters.
