{"value"=>"<p>The <em render=\"bold\">SPEECHES AND WRITINGS, 1908-1952, (.8 lin. ft.),</em>series mainly consists of over 100 speeches, and a few articles, poems, and messages. The speeches are primarily unpublished and are in the form of handwritten drafts, manuscripts and typewritten copies; some are incomplete; all have been arranged chronologically. The speeches were delivered before various professional, educational, fraternal, civic and religious bodies. As one of Watson's main interests was youth welfare, many of his addresses were delivered at school assemblies, commencement exercises and before various youth groups. Rounding out this series is correspondence regarding speaking engagements, articles and flyers announcing speaking engagements, quotes and poems, sometimes of favorite authors, which he often used in his speeches.</p>"}
