{"value"=>"<p>The Personal Files include many personal items and correspondence of Dr. Leslie, particularly for significant birthdays, travels, family relations, and property records. Of note are the L.M. Lillian bookplates (box 54, folder 5); various pieces of artwork (box 54, folder 1); Leslie's Friendship Book (box 56, folder 5); and several handmade birthday cards and memorabilia (box 55, folder 4; box 56, folder 1; box 55, folder 8; box 60, folder 2; a necktie with calligraphy designed by Lili Wronker, box 60; 90th birthday wood carving, box 61). Boxes 61a and 61b contain many of Leslie's certificates, awards, plaques, and other memorabilia. Box 59 contains several telephone and address books that appear to belong to Drs. Leslie and Greenberg, and several inscribed or bookplated volumes of Dr. Leslie's. One volume, Tales from Shakespeare's Comedies by Charles and Mary Lamb is of particular interest because a note identifies it as a book he used while working as a teacher. This is the only item in the collection that documents Leslie's work as a grade school teacher.</p> <p>The files also include the property records of the Leslie's, both those of their house in Easton, Connecticut, and Brooklyn, New York. The records for Easton include documents dating to 1914 (before the Leslie's purchased it) and hand-drawn maps of the area and the interior of the house. The Brooklyn property records include the blueprints for the renovation that made the bottom floor the offices of Dr. Sarah Greenberg. Box 54, folder 10 contains Dr. Leslie's Connecticut drivers' licenses and automobile registration cards from 1930 to 1934.</p> <p>Regarding his extended family, there are a few unusual items retained in these records, including the distribution of the estate of his brother-in-law, the funeral register for his niece (both box 55), and his last will and testament (box 56).</p>"}
