{"value"=>"<p>Correspondence in this subseries relates solely to Wynner's immediate and extended family. The subseries is arranged chronologically by year, followed by files for individual family members. Letters are written in English and Hungarian.</p> <p>Early family correspondence originates from the family of Robert and Frieda Wynner in Europe. Throughout World War II, Edith Wynner was in contact with relatives in Hungary, sending dry goods in short supply and attempting to repatriate cousins to the United States. She was successful with Ondrej (Andrew) Lazslo, who resettled in the United States with his wife Vilma. The Lazslo's correspondence, which is found both in the chronological files and separate files under their surname, include their letters with employers and contacts in the United States other than Edith Wynner.</p> <p>As noted above, some family correspondence, particularly outgoing letters from Robert Wynner that were prepared by Edith Wynner, are filed in General Correspondence. Robert Wynner's professional correspondence, filed under his name, is primarily focused on his attempts to secure employment as a jeweler during the 1940s. His personal letters to Edith, as well as his incoming mail from relatives still in Europe, are arranged chronologically at the beginning of the subseries.</p> <p>A small file of letters dating from the 1990s originates from Wynner's brother Albert and his sons. Albert Wynner's letters, as well as those from Edith to him, are also found in the General Correspondence subseries.</p>"}
