content: The letters of painter Mary Cassatt contain 64 items and date from 1892 to 1926.  The bulk of these letters are to Cassatt's nephew, Robert Kelso Cassatt, and to his wife Minnie regarding family, mutual friends, and travels in and around France.  The remaining letters discuss updates and sales of artwork, the provenance behind specific works of art, and news of personal events and travels.  The series also includes two letters to Robert Cassatt from his grandparents and one clipping of Cassatt's obituary from an unidentified French newspaper.
