{"value"=>"<p>General correspondence best documents two time periods: the 1930s to 1940s and 1980s to 1990s. For a complete run of Wynner's correspondence between 1950 and 1980, researchers should consult the Schwimmer-Lloyd collection, Series AA: Franciska Schwimmer and Edith Wynner General Correspondence. Wynner's correspondence is also interfiled in Series I.A.: General Correspondence of the Rosika Schwimmer papers.</p> <p>Early correspondence (1931-1947) provides a mix of personal letters by Wynner, correspondence related to her activities in world government activism, as well as those written in her official capacity as secretary to Rosika Schwimmer and Henry Usborne. Some outgoing mail from her father, Robert Wynner, and Franciska Schwimmer is also interfiled. Her letters from the 1930s and 1940s detail her tenacity for the world government movement, especially her participation in the 1947 Conference of the World Movement for World Federal Government, as well as her close friendships with the Lloyd and Schwimmer families. Correspondence from her father and cousins in the 1940s is found in both this subseries and the following, I.B.: Family Correspondence.</p> <p>Wynner's later correspondence focuses on the small group of world government activists in New York City with which she associated and her research contacts. Regular correspondents include Josephine Rubin, Frances Fenner, Georgia Lloyd, and Lloyd siblings. During this time period, Wynner wrote frequently with Carol Teitelbaum, Rosika Schwimmer's great niece with whom Wynner became close friends.</p>"}
