     Arrangement 
 Collection is arranged in eleven series by name of individual or family: Frances Jewell McVey; Asa Hickman Jewell; Lizzie Berry Jewell; Robert  Bob  Berry Jewell; John Berry Jewell; John Michael Berry; John Jewell and John Moses Jewell; John Jewell, Jr./John L. Jewell; Miscellaneous Jewell family papers; indexes to Frances Jewell McVey and Lizzie Berry Jewell's correspondence; and Photographs.    
   
     Scope and Contents 
 The Jewell family papers (1814-1984; 17.7 cubic feet, 46 boxes) consist of correspondence, school-related papers, and ephemera and artifacts relating to Frances Jewell McVey and her family, the Jewell family of Lexington, Ky., Jessamine County, Ky., and Berry, Ky.  Frances Jewell McVey's series comprises the bulk of the papers and include her personal, business, and civic interests and connections. Her correspondence with family and friends particularly documents her youth and young adult years. The bulk of the incoming letters were written by her mother, Lizzie Berry Jewell (1904-1924 and undated) and close friends from Lexington, Ky. (1903-1937 and undated), the Baldwin School (1908-1917 and undated) and Vassar College (1909-1913). Frances' letters to her mother (1907-1913) and brother (1908) during her years at boarding school and college are also present in the series. Indexes and subject headings to Frances Jewell McVey and Lizzie Berry Jewell's correspondence (undated) are included in the collection. Other incoming letters include those sent to Frances by fiance and husband, Frank LeRond McVey, during their courtship and early marriage (1922-1924); letters from  Bob C.,  stationed in France and England during World War I (1917-1920); and a few brief notes from former State University, Lexington, Kentucky (later University of Kentucky) president James Kennedy Patterson (1916-1919). An outgoing letter written from Frances to Dr. Edward O. Guerrant at age twelve is one of the earliest items in the collection and provides an early view of her interest in being of service to others. There are also travel souvenirs, postcards (including ones made from leather), and multiple drafts and proof copies of the book,  Uncle Will of Wildwood  (1974), co-authored by Robert Berry Jewell and Frances Jewell McVey (1939-1974 and undated).  Jewell family businesses and financial activities (1810s-1980s), particularly Robert Berry Jewell's involvement with standard bred horse breeding and racing (1909-1982), are documented throughout the collection through clippings; correspondence; farm, farm products, livestock; household accounts and catalogs; estate records; a land indenture, and photographs of horses. Included in the business records is a listing of slave lots and the names of those they were allotted to (undated, [after 1855]), including the name James Jewell, as well as a letter from Ty Cobb to Robert Jewell (1940).   The collection also includes Asa Hickman Jewell's school essays and report cards from Forest Academy (near Louisville, Ky., 1873?-1874) and Central University (Richmond, Ky., 1875-1878?), as well as his travel journal from a 1910 voyage to Europe. Other family members represented in the collection include John Michael Berry, James Jewell, John Berry Jewell, John Moses Jewell, John L. Jewell, and Marianne  Dolly  Reed. The ephemera includes a bawdy poem (1961) written on the occasion of the destruction of Belle Brezing's house in Lexington, Ky. where she operated a brothel.
