content: Josephine Tarbell Ferrell's correspondence mostly relates to her efforts in the 1930s to preserve the Tarbell home in New Castle, New Hampshire as a memorial to her father. These include letters from the artist Frank W. Benson, a good friend of Edmund Tarbell and member of the Ten American Painters group, and a letter from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.  In addition, there are letters about exhibitions of her father's work, especially at the Pierce Galleries, but also with various museums.
