Circa 2 linear feet of Sharrer's correspondence, primarily incoming with scattered outgoing letters, is with family members, friends, and colleagues including other artists, galleries, and museums.
Artists represented here include Peter Blume, Lester Burbank Bridaham, Gitta Caiserman-Roth, Kathy Calderwood, Mary Crutchfield, Betty Goodwin, Lincoln Kirstein, Mayumi Oda, and George Tooker. Correspondence with galleries includes documentation of M. Knoedler & Company's sale of Tribute to the American Working People to Handmacher-Vogel, Inc. in 1951; correspondence with Terry Dintenfass who invited Sharrer to join her gallery in 1975; and correspondence with Forum Gallery, which represented Sharrer beginning in 1978. There are 2 letters from Dorothy Miller relating to the 1946 Fourteen Americans exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and the museum's interest in Sharrer's study drawings for her painting, Workers and Paintings; correspondence with the American Academy of Arts and Letters regarding loan agreements, award nominations, and award ceremonies; and documentation of the Women's Caucus for Art's honoree nominations of Sharrer.
Also found are letters from fine arts appraiser and artist Lester Burbank Bridaham in which Bridaham warns Sharrer of the poor storage conditions of her mother's artwork, and other artwork in her possesion. Bridaham advocates for considering the Archives of American Art as a repository for Sharrer's and her mother's personal papers.
