content: Correspondence consists primarily of an intimate decades-long exchange of letters between Fenton and Martinet. There are also scattered letters from Fenton's instructor, Alexander S. Calder, and Emily Clayton Bishop, as well as scattered letters addressed to Martinet from others, including a cover letter from William Merritt Chase for a letter of recommendation written on Martinet's behalf. The bulk of the correspondence is arranged Most of the undated letters are filed alphabetically before the chronological correspondence. Undated letters from Fenton and Martinet have been filed separately from other undated correspondence, also before the chronological correspondence.
