{"value"=>"<p>The <em render=\"bold\">PERSONAL PAPERS, 1914-1952, (.6 lin. ft.),</em>series includes resumes and other biographical material and correspondence with family members, friends and acquaintances. The family correspondence consists of letters from his father James M. Watson and his brother Charles M. Hinchcliffe, both in Jamaica, West Indies, and letters from his wife, two daughters and two sons. The bulk of the family correspondence is from his immediate family and was written primarily between September and October 1947 while Watson was in Jamaica, West Indies on family business. The letters from his son James were written primarily between 1943 and 1944 while the latter was serving in the United States Army; some are written from camp and others from the front in Italy. Additional letters from James written during World War II are in Violet Watson's files in the Family Papers. The remaining correspondence is with friends in Jamaica, many of whom were prominent citizens of that island, and friends in the United States such as Philadelphia attorney Raymond Pace Alexander and Sidney T. Christian, one of Watson's ex- law partners. All correspondence has been arranged chronologically. Rounding out this series are get well notes, invitations and general personal notes received during his 1947 visit to Jamaica, one folder of personal financial items and one folder pertaining to the estate of his brother Charles M. Hinchcliffe.</p>"}
