Manuscripts
The correspondence in the collection almost entirely consists of letters sent to Alice Jones MacMonnies from about 1917 until 1929. The bulk of the correspondence is from Alice's mother Georgina Sullivan Jones, and the letters focus on news regarding family members and acquaintances, including General John Pershing. Georgina writes of sculptor Prince Paul Troubetzkoy's commission to create a bust of Henry E. Huntington in 1917 and of her hatred of Troubetzkoy, and relates being angered by a discussion that rated Troubetzkoy and Auguste Rodin as the greatest living sculptors with no mention of MacMonnies. Other letters describe events related to World War I, such as the raising of funds for French orphans and news of a friend's brother who was killed in an "aeroplane accident" in France. An undated letter from Alice's nephew Gregory Jones (the son of her half-brother Roy) describes war conditions in St. Rhomble, France, and the "defiant" attitude of German prisoners-of-war toward the French and American soldiers. A series of 1925 letters recount Georgina's trip through Spain and France, and other topics covered throughout the correspondence include Georgina Jones Walton's play Light of Asia (1927), the Jones' mining interests in Alaska, Alice's interest in New York real estate, and memories of John P. Jones, whom Georgina wished had "lived to see the wonders that science has accomplished and what has been done in the film world" (1933). A few letters from Alice regarding the Jones estate before and after Georgina's death, including a notebook of property values from 1924, are also included. The diary volume was kept by Georgina Sullivan Jones during her 1896 European tour with Alice following her graduation from Bryn Mawr, and chronicles their voyage across the Atlantic on board the St.Paul of the American Line, as well as their travels through London, Paris, Berlin, Beyreuth, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Milan, Rome, and Zurich.The photographs of Alice MacMonnies and her sisters Georgina and Marion range from her childhood to adult years, including her 1896 class photo from Bryn Mawr College.
