{"value"=>"<p>The focus of this series is the solicitation of funds for Emma Goldman for the years 1927-1928. The correspondence indicates that the original purpose of the fund was to secure enough money so that Goldman would be able to enter the United States under bond. Having failed in this endeavor, her friends refocused their efforts to raise money so that Goldman would have material to write her autobiography. By December 1927, the fund was officially named \"The Emma Goldman Memoirs Fund\", with Howard Irving Young, Chairman, and Bolton Hall, Treasurer. The founders included Theodore Dreiser, William P. Hap good, and Peggy Guggenheim Vail. Goldman at this date remarried and was living in Toronto, Canada under the name Emma Goldman Colton. This series consists mainly of form letters soliciting funds. The remaining material in this series is a legal document that is the last will and testament of Goldman accompanied by instructions.</p>"}
