{"value"=>"<p>Almost all of the correspondence is personal and incoming. It addresses events in Gore's life and documents her close friendships and relationships. The personal correspondence is often vague and only subtly reveals the nature of her relationships with other women. Her professional life is only documented in the letters from the 1940s discussing her life as a WAC. These letters reveal information on the work and living conditions in the women's Army, as well as women's relationships to each other within the military setting. Some letters allude to the 1944 investigation of lesbians in the military at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.</p> <p>The different formats of correspondence include letters, cards, V-Mail, telegrams, and handwritten notes. Empty envelopes and clippings of postage stamps are also included. All formats of correspondence which are dated are organized chronologically. The undated correspondence is separated by format, such as cards, letter, and notes. The folder titled \"Notes from 'Jan'\" only includes the short, undated notes that she received from her friend, Jan Lorenz. Other correspondence from Jan Lorenz can be found within the dated correspondence and cards. Many more letters and cards are located in her scrapbooks.</p>"}
