Letters to Florence N. Levy [manuscript], 1899-1918.

Two of the letters, 1899 November 20 and 1900 May 29 are rejection letters stating that the Century Company will not publish the "American Art Annual" because the officers and president see no prospect of financial returns in it. Levy's material was returned with the first letter. The collection also contains a letter, 1908 May 21, returning a photo of a house at Chaumont near Neuchâtel and inquiring about the people in it, including Madame Viardot-Garcia and her grandchildren; and a letter, 1918 September 13, describing the many talents of Gilder's brother, Robert F. Gilder, a newspaperman, painter, and archaeologist.
