Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American author and designer. The collection of Edith Wharton letters consists of eight letters written by her to Mrs. Lewis Cass (Isabel Morris) Ledyard, 1917, 1932-1937, and one letter to Mrs. (George T.) Bliss, 1917. There is also one letter to Ledyard written by Wharton’s friend and executor, Elisina Tyler (Mrs. Royall Tyler), recounting the final illness and death of Edith Wharton, 1937. All are written on Wharton’s stationary from her residences in France. Wharton’s letters to Bliss and Ledyard thank them for donations supporting relief work for war refugees and tuberculosis patients. Enclosed in Wharton’s letters to Ledyard are two photographic postcards showing her garden at Sainte-Claire le Chateau in Hyères, and two photographs of a religious procession at Pavillon Colombe in St. Brice-sous-Le Forêt. All have Wharton’s identifications on verso. The collection also contains a loose autograph signature and reference materials. less
