{"value"=>"<p>The folders contain a large number of Christmas cards, as well as other correspondence, invitations to exhibitions and other ephemera, and clippings (gathered in the back of each folder). The bulk of the material dates from 1960-1990 (and includes correspondence Mrs. Geraghty received from <em>New Yorker</em> artists and their spouses after her husband's death and clippings she continued to amass). The correspondence is largely informal, consisting of friendly notes from home and abroad. The original art found in these folders has been separated out and filed in Series II, though photocopies remain in the original folders. Correspondence from artists and colleagues pertaining to <em>The New Yorker Album of Drawings, 1925-1975</em>, Geraghty's retirement, and Geraghty's death are filed in Series III.</p> <p>The Alan Dunn and Mary Petty file contains extensive correspondence between Syracuse University personnel and James and Eva Geraghty regarding Dunn and Petty materials donated to the University museum. The Mort Gerberg file contains a book proposal for a work on magazine cartooning. The Brendan Gill file includes speeches given by Gill, as well as manuscripts for a short play (\"Meeting Mr. Ives\"), an essay (\"Christmas at the Owl House\"), and a short story (\"The Malcontents\"). The Saul Steinberg file contains correspondence between the Whitney museum and Geraghty relating to a 1978 exhibition of Steinberg's work. The William Shawn file includes clippings pertaining to Tom Wolfe's controversial 1965 <em>New York Herald Tribune</em> article about the inner workings of <em>The New Yorker</em>.</p>"}
