content: This series consists of correspondence, mostly incoming and some outgoing, 1923-1981, relating to collecting antiques and books, household expenses, and finances.  A copy of outgoing correspondence is frequently typed on the reverse side of related incoming corre-spondence.  There are few personal letters, most having been dis¬carded by the photographer.  Also included are a 1923 school note¬book., University of Pennsylvania course material, and a 1930 opera diary.  Postcard diaries, 1951-1975, begin as letters to Sultner's parents, and continue as travel notes after their deaths.  There are also some postcards written to Sultner, 1961-1978.  Included in the legal correspondence, 1955-1972, are family wills, property floor plans, legal agreements, and miscellaneous incoming and outgoing correspondence. There is a bookkeeping record and four check registers detailing Sultner's professional and personal expenditures. The personal and legal correspondence is arranged alphabetically (boxes 1-2, 9); Christmas cards, 1952-1980, are arranged chronologically and include one folder of cards sent by Sultner and four folders of undated cards (boxes 3-4).
