{"value"=>"<p>In 1991, the attorney Ira Gollobin, a close friend of Russell and the executor of her estate, gave to the New York Public Library a number of his files of material pertaining to Maud Russell and to the Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy. Box 78 contains his CDFEP files, including legal material concerning its supposed \"subversive\" status (see also Box 28).</p> <p>In Boxes 79 and 80 are Gollobin's letters from Russell, 1949-1982, mostly written during her many cross-country speaking tours. They provide an upbeat, lively picture of the busy schedule to which she held herself, her encounters with hecklers, and her optimism and faith in the majority of people who attended her talks and bought her pamphlets. Box 80 also includes Gollobin's remarks at Russell's 90th birthday celebration in 1983 and her memorial service in 1989, and legal correspondence concerning the donations of her pottery collection to museums.</p> <p>Box 81 contains four folders of correspondence, 1938-1952 and undated, belonging to Ida Pruitt, which she apparently left behind when she moved to Philadelphia in 1961. These include letters of introduction that Pruitt brought with her to the U. S. when she left Peking in 1938, Indusco-related correspondence, and letters from her mother, Anna Seward Pruitt.</p>"}
