content: Series contains correspondence with family members, particularly letters from Linda Henri and Theresa Henry Lee, as well as correspondence with other artists. Linda Henri's letters are primarily to Robert Henri although there are no responses from him. The letters document Linda's daily life, her loneliness away from her husband, and her medical concerns with scattered mentions of his work and activities. Also found are a few letters exchanged between Linda and her parents. Artist correspondence includes letters from John Sloan in which Sloan talks about their work, their mutual artist friends and their activities, exhibition arrangements, social engagements, and daily life. Also found are scattered letters from Henri to Sloan. Some of this correspondence consists of photocopies and transcripts. One letter from Henri to Jesse C. Green is written in response to a request for an autograph and a letter to C. C. Horn discusses children as portrait subjects. 1 letter from Ernest Thompson describes his exploration of the color of the wolves he is painting. Found at the end of the series is a postcard to Henri from an unidentified sender and a new years card to an unknown recipient illustrated with a cartoon of Henri and Marjorie Organ Henri.
