This collection contains 27 letters. Twenty one of the letters were written by Etta Cone to her cousin, Richard Guggenheimer, between 1927 and 1935. Of the remaining six letters, two are written by Richard Guggenheimer to Etta Cone and four are to Richard from other members of the Cone Family (Frederic and Maxwell Cone, Sally and Jacob Moses), dated between 1931 and 1937. Topics include Etta's focus on building her art collection, as well as her social and business activities, travel plans, health concerns, and her support of Richard Guggenheimer's artistic endeavors. Also included in the file are newspaper clippings about the Cones from the Greensboro Daily News and Greensboro Sun; an article from the April 1979 volume of Arts Journal; and a catalog of an exhibit of the Cone collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
