> Dear colleagues,
>
> Through a series of very odd coincidences, the Walters Art Gallery now has
> possession of a box of correspondence, dating from the turn of the 20th
> century, to and from New York art dealer E.F. Bonaventure. There are
> about 200-300 letters, all still in their envelopes. It appears to be
> almost all personal correspondence, not invoices or business letters.
>
> The Walters family did do some business with Bonaventure (which is how we
> got the letters to start with), but there are only a few pieces of Walters
> correspondence in the collection that we would like to keep. I told the
> owner of the letters that I would post a notice to this listserv, to see
> if any of you know of a library/archives who might be interested in these
> letters. If the name Bonaventure rings a bell, and you know of an
> institution that would want these items, please contact me directly (not
> the list) and I'll give you more details.
>
> Thanks!
