{"value"=>"<p>The bulk of the papers consist of correspondence of Ms Holly with authors, writers, editors, publishers, and literary agents relative to the placing of her clients' manuscripts with publishers of books and magazines, her evaluations of manuscripts submitted to her, royalties received, and related matters. The files are arranged alphabetically and are mainly in the period 1920s-1940s. Some of the correspondence contains collateral papers including authors' scripts, agreements, and royalty statements. There is also a file of authors' manuscript control cards (arranged alphabetically) which record the title and date of manuscripts received by Holly and the actions taken to place them with publishers. Correspondents include Gertrude Atherton, Faith Baldwin, Whitman Chambers, Robert Hobart Davis, Dodd, Mead & Co., Lucille Selk Edgerton, Edna Ferber, Temple H. Fielding, Philip M. Fisher, Jay Garon, Guy Gilpatric, Fannie Hurst, Mary W. King, Margaret Larson, Richard Le Gallienne, Sinclair Lewis, Travis Mason, Arthur Mizener, Ann Ritner, Edith S. Stebbins, Toni Strassman, Ida M. Tarbell, and Philip Wylie. The correspondence with Edith S. Stebbins, who managed Ms Holly's office, provides a detailed account of the methods employed by Ms Holly in marketing her clients' manuscripts.</p> <p>As noted above the Theodore Dreiser correspondence is available to researchers on microfilm acquired through the courtesy of the Van Pelt Library at the University of Pennsylvania which has custody of the original microfilm.
