content: Series includes materials sent to Katherine Gauss Jackson over the course of her long friendship with Alfred H. Barr, Jr. General material includes a "bluff sheet" outlining Russian classical music; a photograph of Barr with others from 1923; notes on postcards commenting on modern art; and clippings and an invitation for Barr's 70th birthday celebration. Barr's letters to Jackson are personal and are largely written during his time at Princeton University and while she was studying at Smith College in the 1920s. The letters discuss their friendship and connection, friends, classes, and social events. Also found are scattered letters from Margaret Scolari Barr to Jackson.
