A collection of personal letters and cards, plus photographs and ephemera, sent to Emily Johnston Bain by Donald B. and Ellen F. Lindsley. Ms. Bain added annotations and comments to some of these communications, especially the photographs. The correspondence covers family events, news of children and grandchildren, and shared interests in music and art, and gives a running account of parts of Dr. Lindsley's professional life.

Emily Johnston Bain (1911-2004) was an American mother, housewife, teacher and, in parallel, an award-winning artist who worked in oil, watercolor, and sculpture. Mrs. Bain held an M.A. in Art and Education from Louisiana State University and an M.A. in English from Tulane University. Post-graduate art work was done at the Universities of Texas and Colorado. She maintained her artistic career while serving as State Supervisor of Art in Louisiana, and teaching art in colleges and schools of Louisiana and Texas. Mrs. Bain is listed in "Directory of American Portrait Artists" (1985) and the online "CLARA: Database of Women Artists" [http://clara.nmwa.org]. In 1961 she met the Lindsleys through her then husband, Dr. Herbert Weaver, professor and chair of the University of Hawaii's Department of Psychology. Dr. Lindsley had been invited to Honolulu as visiting lecturer during the summer. The close friendship struck up then continued after Mrs. Bain's divorce and her return to the mainland, and lasted until the end of her life.
