{"value"=>"<p>This series holds contracts, signed by Waller (and a few by J.P. Johnson and Andy Razaf) for personal appearances, performances, vaudeville engagements, and royalty and songwriters' agreements. There are also booking statements and receipts describing the nature of the orchestra's engagements (in some instances, the location, venue, and promoter are listed), grossed revenue, commissions paid, and orchestra and individual salaries. The daily venue or orchestra reports give a broader account of tickets sold, broken down by gender and percentages. The daily and weekly reports are more detailed than the venue reports; they include expenses as well as income. A descriptive report of the European tour in 1938 is available as well as accountant statements and an audit. The general financial folder contains some of Waller's bank statements, personal account information, invoices, rail ticket stubs and itineraries, mileage amounts, financial matters concerning the Yacht Club, advances on songs, and tax returns.</p>"}
