{"value"=>"<p>The <em render=\"bold\">GENERAL FILE, 1911-1952, (.4 lin. ft.),</em>series consists of requests from those seeking advice, especially on immigration matters and requests for help, usually economic. The correspondence from writer Claude McKay is of a general nature; in one letter he seeks answers to various questions regarding the Harlem political scene of the 1930s and 1940s. The letters from editor A.M. Wendell Malliet cover various subjects such as upcoming meetings and functions as well as information regarding the projected autobiography which Watson had under consideration. Additional information on the autobiography may be found among Violet L. Watson's papers (in the Family Papers series), and portions of an autobiographical chapter may be found among Watson's writings.</p>"}
