{"value"=>"<p> The General correspondence series includes correspondence with and regarding people interested in the work of the Emergency Committee, individuals writing for news of a relative or friend, learned societies, individuals and corporations interested in employing or otherwise aiding refugees, and correspondence regarding references for scholars. Also included is correspondence with Elijah William Bagster-Collins and Walter M. Kotschnig, representatives of the Committee. Bagster-Collins represented the Committee in Europe between 1933-1935 with the aim of developing a relationship between the Committee and the Academic Assistance Council in order to receive information regarding displaced scholars and to assist them in finding positions in the United States, if they so wished. Kotschnig traveled to the American Middle West to visit institutions and discover any additional needs that might be served by the Committee.</p> <p> Correspondents include Paul Baerwald, Salo Wittmayer Baron, Norman De Mattos Bentwich, Franz Boas, Joseph Perkins Chamberlain, Carl J. Friedrich, Felix Frankfurter, Alvin Johnson, Edward R. Murrow, and Oswald Veblen.</p>"}
