content: Correspondence is with Guermonprez's parents Heinrich and Johanna while they were teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina and her sister Lisa after they received their first contact from Guermonprez in two years. Other correspondence is with Paul Guermonprez before he died, John Elsesser, and her close friend Gerhard Marcks. Many of the letters exchanged after Trude Guermonprez's death in 1976 are between Ruth Kath, a professor of German researching Marcks, and Elsesser. Kath writes to Elsesser requesting Marcks' letters to Guermonprez for research. Marcks' original letters along with a couple of translated letters by Kath are included in the files. Marcks' files also include photographs of Marcks, his family, and artwork, as well as printed material relating to Marcks.
