--- END OF GRAPH ---# Reorganization Summary The files were organized primarily by correspondent, as most content consists of personal letters to Alice Austen from specific individuals. Wedding invitations were separated into their own group due to their formal nature. Letters written by Alice herself were grouped separately. Some envelope/address files were left ungrouped as they didn't contain substantive content beyond addressing information. ## Groups Created - **Henry_Gilman_Correspondence**: Letters from Henry Gilman to Alice Austen, showing a personal and somewhat poetic correspondence style - **Julia_Martin_Correspondence**: Letters from Julia Martin to Alice Austen, discussing social activities, photography, and personal matters - **Bessie_Strong_Correspondence**: Letters from Bessie Strong to Alice Austen, discussing social events, gifts, and personal updates - **Wedding_Invitations**: Formal wedding invitations received by Alice Austen - **Errington_Correspondence**: Letters from Errington to Alice Austen, including holiday greetings - **Alice_Austen_Personal_Correspondence**: Letters written by Alice Austen to others
