{"value"=>"<p>Arranged into three subseries, this series consists of personal and professional letters and emails with friends, colleagues, musicians, employers, publishers, agents, and readers. In the Personal subseries, noted individuals include writers such as Saul Bellow, James McPherson, Joyce Carol Oates, and Darcy O'Brien; musicans such as Quincy Jones, Wynton Marsalis, and Sonny Rollins; and editors including Tina Brown and Graydon Carter, among many others. The Professional subseries mostly contains correspondence with publications (such as <span class=\"title\">The New York Times</span> and <span class=\"title\">The New Yorker</span>) regarding writing assignments and organizations (such as Lincoln Center for Performing Arts and King Features Syndicate Division/Hearst Holdings, Inc.) for which Crouch spoke, lectured, or worked. Many of the individuals in the personal subseries overlap with those in the professional subseries, but they have been included in the former because either the correspondence is of a personal nature or the relationship started as a personal one and later developed into a professional one. Files marked with a letter (\"A\", \"B\", etc.) include one-time correspondence with an individual or organization, by last name or first name, if last name is unknown. All descriptive notes in parentheses are Crouch's own. The final subseries, Reader mail, mostly consists of correspondence from readers of his newspaper columns or magazine articles.</p>"}
