{"value"=>"<p>The correspondence provides insight into Tripp's working relationships with other psychologists, sex researchers, and professional acquaintances. The majority of the correspondence is between Tripp and Sixt Kapff (an Italian associate of both Tripp and Kinsey), Tripp and Kinsey, and Kapff and Kinsey. The letters between Tripp and Kinsey discuss details of their research collaborations and Kinsey's visits to New York City. In 1951 Kapff wrote to Kinsey expressing an interest in his sex research and Kapff began to provide Kinsey with data and information about his own sexual activities. Kapff provided Tripp with copies of this correspondence with Kinsey. Tripp and Kapff's own letters discuss Tripp's research and Kapff's observations about sexual practices and mores in Italy and India.</p> <p>Other frequent correspondents include Professors David Gwyn Jeffreys and Wayne Dynes and Kinsey Institute director Paul Gebhard. There is also one file of correspondence with Theodore Reik. Tripp's early professional work at the Handwriting Institute is documented through correspondence, much of it with Huntington Hartford, founder of the Handwriting Institute.</p>"}
