{"value"=>"<p>General correspondence consists of files arranged alphabetically by individual or organization, documenting Georgia Lloyd's often intertwined professional and personal lives.</p> <p>Particularly well documented in this series is her correspondence with co-author Edith Wynner. Wynner, who had worked as personal secretary to Rosika Schwimmer and would later become a consultant to the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection at the New York Public Library, was a passionate advocate for world government in her own right. Exchanges between the two women pertain to Campaign for World Government business, planning regarding their <span class=\"title\">Searchlight</span> book, observations on national and world politics, and updates on family and friends. All correspondence between the two women--both incoming and outgoing--is arranged under Wynner's files. Edith Wynner also sent a substantial number of enclosures and forwarded letters to Georgia over the years, often consisting of letters from other individuals to herself or others. These letters are arranged as \"Edith Wynner, Correspondence with others.\"</p> <p>Included in general correspondence are letters exchanged with school friends from Georgia's secondary school years in Switzerland and the United States, as well as her college friends. She corresponded with both groups of friends for over seventy years. Included in these letters are evidence of her generosity: she appears to have paid the college tuition for two of her close girlfriends, and she anonymously paid the medical school tuition of another male friend. There are also letters exchanged between her and Robert Asahi Chino, a Japanese-American conscientious objector involved with the War Resister's League, who had been jailed for evading the draft. Georgia paid his $5,000 bail in early 1942, and she continued to correspond with him during his eventual army service in France, in 1944.</p> <p>Georgia's \"Round Robin\" files, ranging from the 1920s through the 1990s, are letters exchanged among circles of friends, beginning with her Fellowship School friends in Gland, Switzerland and continuing through to her Antioch acquaintances. These letters are a good source of information on Georgia's daily life, accomplishments and challenges, in her own words.</p> <p>Letters exchanged with Matthew Pallakunnathu Titus during the 1930s and 1940s discuss politics in India, in particular comparing India to the United States. Particularly interesting is his analysis of race in both countries. Georgia's interest in Indian politics and independence is also documented through her correspondence with several other individuals represented in this series--S. Ramanathan and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaha in particular--as well as in Series III. Subject files.</p> <p>There is a fair amount of correspondence with Reginald Lal Singh, as well as a manuscript copy of his autobiography. Singh was of Indian descent, but was born and raised in British Guiana. In his autobiography he wrote that he was raised by a tribe of Makusi from a very young age until he was ten, when he was returned to his mother. His writings examine the village and culture of the Makusi, as well as his experiences of Guyanese culture upon his return. He later moved to the United States, where he pursued a literary and television acting career.</p> <p>Materials filed under \"Jamaica\" consist of letters exchanged with friends and the staff of William Bross Lloyd's estate Bu Saaba, in Montego Bay. For correspondence on Georgia's 1986 efforts to donate the estate to the Religious Society of Friends, see her files on Jamaican real estate in Series. IV. Financial and real estate.</p> <p>Also included in Georgia's general correspondence are numerous letters exchanged with Morris Milgram, a pioneer in creating racially-integrated suburban communities in Phoenix, Arizona and the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Georgia was an investor in several of his projects, as is amply documented through these materials.</p> <p>Other prominent correspondents include: Devere Allen, Brent Allinson, Fyke Farmer, Julia Felsenthal, Frances Fenner, Count Michael Karolyi of Hungary, Scott Nearing, Frank Olmstead, Mien Palthe, E. Sylvia Pankhurst, Alice Paul, Francois Savary, Norman Thomas, and Henry Usborne.</p>"}
