content: Correspondence is primarily with Brown's immediate and extended family and with friends.  The series includes extensive correspondence to his mother, Martha C. Brown, his sister, Ellen Coit Elliott, and letter drafts to his wife Lucy Fletcher Brown that were written from South Carolina.  Letters to Brown's family dating from 1887 to 1888 document his travels to Europe as an art student and include pen and ink and color washes of historical sites, art deco details, and illustrative scenes.  These letters were transcribed by Brown at a later date.  Correspondence from other family members and friends include letters from the artist John Taylor Arms and historical research on other members of the Brown family.
