Correspondence, 1957-1997

This subseries includes Sigrid Spaeth's correspondence with friends, family, and professional contacts, and documents her professional activities as an artist and designer and her personal relationships from the beginning of her relationship with Steinberg in 1960 to her death in 1996. Spaeth's correspondence chiefly consists of incoming letters including larger groups of correspondence from her mother, Malli (Amalia) Spaeth, her sister, Uschi (Ursula) Beard, and from Steinberg. A small group of outgoing correspondence, primarily addressed to Steinberg, is also present. Outgoing correspondence to Steinberg includes drafts, partial and informal notes, and unsent letters, some of which may have been passed between Spaeth and Steinberg in their shared home instead of mailed. These, combined with incoming correspondence from Steinberg, and Spaeth's letters to Steinberg filed in Series I, may serve as a record of their relationship.
