content: Letters are almost exclusively incoming letters; two copies of outgoing letters written by Terryn Greene are included. Those addressed to Balcomb Greene regard articles to be published, a codicile to his will, appraisal of a painting by him, and greeting cards with notes from friends. Both of the letters addressed to Gertrude Greene are photocopies. A letter from A. E. Gallatin concerns art works by Gertrude selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Living Art at New York University; the other is from an unidentified correspondent promising to pay dues and apologizing for not participating in a recent Abstract American Artists exhibition. Letters addressed to Terryn Greene concern her husband's career or mention him.
