Additional Description

Container Summary

Contains 9 ALS + envelopes from PB's sister written to PB. References to death of their older brother, Edmund Henry Barry (died 11/27/1934; see ALS 11/27/34). @ Of Mother Agnes, Brendan Gill wrote in the biographical introduction to his book, "States of Grace - Eight Plays by Philip Barry": "Agnes was a delicate, appealing child, drawn early to books. Devout daughter of a devout mother, in her late teens she took her vows as a nun in the Order of the Sacred Heart, rose to a high place in the Order, and today, at eighty-two, is still ardently teaching near Washington, D.C." (Gill, p.9).
