{"value"=>"<p>This series contains Anglin's personal and professional correspondence. While a portion of the correspondence is sorted by name, the bulk of the material is arranged by date. The material ranges from notes from friends and professional acquaintances, to fan mail from both theater aficionados and people from rural areas who had heard Anglin's radio performances. Other materials include telegrams arranging travel and contract negotiations, playwrights suggesting their work, and Anglin requesting translations of foreign language pieces. In the 1920s there is a great deal of correspondence regarding Anglin's radio work. This work helped make her a household name and exposed her to fans who never could see legitimate theater. There is some correspondence to her husband Howard Hull, but generally these pertain to Anglin or address them as a couple. At the end of this series is a selection of \"freak\" letters, containing odd, intense and often sexual fan mail that Anglin received during the height of her popularity.</p> <p>Notable correspondents include David Belasco, Mary Pickford, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, and Anglin's close friend and fellow actress Minnie Fiske.</p>"}
