 Gwendoline (1882–1951) and Margaret (1884–1963) Davies were the granddaughters of David Davies, a Welshman who amassed a fortune in the shipping and mining industries. In 1907, when Gwendoline came into her inheritance (Margaret would follow in 1909), the sisters were said to be the wealthiest unmarried women in Britain. Their religious upbringing in rural Wales gave them a deep sense of social responsibility and they chose to use their inheritance for cultural and philanthropic purposes. While there was no real family history of art collecting, the sisters’ education was rigorously geared toward such pursuits. Their London school focused on cultural rather than academic study, and they travelled extensively with their governess, Jane Blaker, visiting art galleries and making extensive notes on the collections there. The sisters began to make regular art purchases from 1908, which roughly coincided with the dates of their inheritance. They took advice from various people, includin...

The Soldier's Coat Imagine you meet a soldier walking down the street in the first century. You see the sparkle in his eyes as he meets you. Joy radiates off his face as if he has won the lottery. You ask him why. He shares that his work today started out in an ordinary way. He had no way of knowing that his day would turn and become special, a veritable red-letter day, a day to be celebrated. When the events unfolded, the soldier could barely contain his joy. Today he won a new coat. The soldier has just been looking for someone to tell the story to, to recount his remarkable good fortune and to show off his new coat. First, he stopped by the office to clock out for the day. He proudly turned and primped for his coworkers and the ladies who operated the home office. "Check it out! I am styling today. Get a load of this coat! I won it. Can you believe it?" The soldier wanted everyone to see the spoils of his victory that day. The women at the office marveled at the beauty...

 From: Jarrod and Marietta Boscow Date: February 22 To: Loan Servicing Vice President, Peabody Bank Subject: Application for loan modification To Whom It May Concern: This message is to support our application for a modification plan that will help us to resume affordable mortgage payments. Our youngest son has a learning disability and attends an exceptional special-education program at his public school. If we lose our home, we will likely be forced to move out of our current school district. Few rental properties are available in the area, so renting or leasing is not a probable option. We fell behind on our mortgage payments due to loss of income. Jarrod was laid off by his prior employer last September. Marietta was able to increase her hours as a school aid, but we were unable to make full mortgage payments for December through April. On April 15, Jarrod found part-time employment, and the job is expected to change to a full-time position on July 1. Jarrod's new employer has ...

 From: Eduardo Torres, Art Department Manager To: Art Department-ALL; Editorial Department-ALL Subject: Archiving old files Date: November 15 Because of the high volume of electronic files that are currently on our server, you may have noticed that our computer system has recently begun to slow down considerably. For this reason, we are implementing the use of a new archive system. This mass-storage system will allow everyone to store the files that they are no longer using. The files will be removed from our active server and placed into long-term storage. You will still be able to pull these files from the archives when needed, but they will no longer slow down our computers. Please take some time this week to flag old files that you have saved on the server. These should include any files from previous editions of our magazine that you do not intend to reuse in future versions of the magazine. Compile a list of the file names and locations and send via e-mail to Mitchell Asbury ...
