content: Family papers include John J. Cozad's (Henri's father) 1867 certificate of ownership for a cemetery lot and a letter soliciting Richard Henry Lee's interest in purchasing property lots at Edgemere, Long Island. Also found is a notebook belonging to Richard Henry Lee containing handwritten legal briefs. Atlantic City material consists of news clippings, photos of the boardwalk area, and a  handwritten agreement documenting matters relating to the construction of part of the Atlantic City boardwalk, circa 1897, that was on property owned by Lee and then Henri. Fragments consist of an excerpt written possibly by Henri about "the principle of right living," a description of portraits of George Washington, a sketch with notations by Henri  (photocopy), and a statement written August 12, 1907 possibly by Henri about sitting in the Pennsylvania governor's house. The series also includes a partial typescript that describes Henri's time in Santa Fe in 1916-1917 and 1922 and his response to the landscape and people, and some of his ideas about work, money, socialism, and politics.
