# Reorganization Summary The files were organized primarily by correspondent, with secondary groupings for different types of correspondence (personal letters, professional letters, invitations/cards). This approach maintains consistency with the organizational guidance while accurately reflecting the social networks and activities documented in Alice Austen's correspondence. Each group represents a distinct relationship or correspondence type, allowing for clear contextual understanding of the materials. ## Groups Created - **Will_V_Batchelder_Correspondence**: Letters from Will V. Batchelder to Alice Austen, containing personal correspondence and social arrangements - **Bessie_Strong_Correspondence**: Letters from Bessie Strong to Alice Austen, discussing social events, photography exchanges, and travel plans - **Julia_Bredt_Correspondence**: Letters from Julia Bredt to Alice Austen, containing social invitations and personal updates - **Alice_Cornell_Austen_Correspondence**: Letters from Alice Cornell Austen (likely Alice's mother) containing family updates and personal matters - **Trudie_Eccleston_Correspondence**: Letters from Trudie Eccleston discussing social events and personal matters - **HAH_Strong_Correspondence**: Letters from HAH Strong regarding photography and personal matters - **LL_Tribus_Correspondence**: Professional correspondence from L.L.
