{"value"=>"<p>The series contains incoming and outgoing letters and is organized chronologically; it covers the years from 1972-1984 and undated. The series contains two subseries: Gollobin Correspondence and Letters of Support. The Gollobin subseries include correspondence between Haitian-American professionals and potential witnesses, as well as thank-you notes and general correspondence between Gollobin and supporters of the Haitian asylum cause. Also included in the series is a folder containing letters from the Sisters of Libretto Academy, a group of nuns with whom Gollobin sustained contact during his involvement with Haitian refugees. The Sisters were helping detained refugees in El Paso, Texas, and would regularly notify Gollobin about matters relating to the detainees' well-being as well as local vigils and demonstrations. Gollobin kept copies of his outgoing correspondence. These outgoing letters are integrated into the chronological sections of the Gollobin Correspondence subseries. The Letters of Support subseries contains letters written by religious, civic and labor leaders as well as members of the general public to government officials in support of Haitian asylum, right to work authorization and freedom from imprisonment.</p> <p>Correspondence between legal counsel and members of the judiciary is included in the CASES series. Correspondence generated as part of Gollobin's duties on behalf of the organizations that employed him or organizations of which he was a member is contained in the Organizations series.</p>"}
