The bulk of this series is professional correspondence with galleries and museums about exhibitions, sales, consignments, and loans of artwork. There is limited personal correspondence with friends and family aside from correspondence with various people about Robert McChesney's mother Ruby whom he cared for toward the end of her life. There are a few New Year's greeting cards designed by Mary Fuller and Robert McChesney.
Arrangement:
Personal correspondence with and about family is grouped together at the beginning of the series. Professional correspondence, which constitutes the bulk of the series, is arranged alphabetically after the family correspondence.
