"January 5, 1914. Dear Sir, I am very much obliged to you for your kind letter about the Lewis pictures. I will write to Christies'. I think the Birmingham Gallery must have bought some. I would be very grateful for the addresses of any owners of Lewis's pictures, if it is not troubling you too much. I am yours very truly, Charles Aitken [...]"
"January 15, 1914. Dear Mr Hewitt, I am so much indebted to you for your kindness in sending me this valuable list. I want to see Lewis better represented here and shall try to array a little exhibition rather with a view to the Trustees being able to see his work. Mr Horton of Birmingham [i.e., Joseph Horton, d. 1927] has a good big [?] scale one "In the Harem" but he has rather an exaggerated idea of its market price. Sir Cuthbert Quilter had a good one but I do not know at present what became of it. With renewed thanks, I am yours very truly, Charles Aitken."
The collection comprises 15 letters from Thomas Woolner to John Frederick Lewis, written between 1874 and 1876. It also includes five letters from Woolner to Lewis's wife, Marian Harper, one letter from Lewis to dealer William Vokins, two letters from Woolner's wife to Lewis, two letters from Amy Woolner—Thomas's daughter—concerning the recovery of the letters, and two letters from Charles Aitken of the National Gallery regarding Lewis's paintings. Woolner's letters to Lewis reveal the former's thoughts on his own work, his personal relationships with Lewis and the Royal Academy, his esteem for Lewis's painting, and his thoughts on contemporary art more broadly.

In addition, the Art Department accepted a collection of drawings (cartoons) from a local stained glass artist, Lawrence Y. Leopold.

The Josef Albers Papers consist of correspondence, subject files, printed material, and family memorabilia, which document the personal life and professional career of Josef Albers. The earliest material in the papers reflects Albers family history and his work at the Bauhaus in Germany. The bulk of the material, however, dates from Albers arrival in the United States to teach at Black Mountain College. The largest part of the papers is composed of books, magazines, clippings, and exhibition catalogues, which are either about Albers or which contain his writings or reproductions of his works.
