The correspondence groups reflect Alice Austen's key relationships (Julia Martin, Julie Bredt, Henry Gilman, and A. Minshall Hopper), while envelopes were grouped separately as they contain primarily addressing/postmark information rather than substantive content. Short notes and calling cards were separated into their own group due to their distinct format and content type. ## Groups Created - **Correspondence_Julia_Martin**: Letters from Julia T. Martin discussing social activities, personal updates, and mutual acquaintances - **Correspondence_Julie_Bredt**: Letters from Julie Bredt discussing summer travels, family matters, and social activities - **Correspondence_Henry_Gilman**: Letters from Henry Gilman discussing social plans, photography, and personal updates - **Correspondence_A_M_Hopper**: Letters from A. Minshall Hopper discussing photography business, social activities at Glen Springs, and personal updates - **Envelopes**: Envelopes addressed to Alice Austen with postmarks and sender information - **Short_Notes**: Brief messages and calling cards
