scopecontent
{"value"=>"<p>Series II, dating from 1954 to 2011, contains social and personal letters with colleagues, students, and friends. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by last name. Many of Witcover's correspondents were also active in theatre, and sent updates on their theatrical endeavors. Carol Hebald, Lisa Mayo, Enid Rudd, and Jo Ann Wahl sent Witcover scripts they had written for feedback and comments. Hebald also sent Witcover recordings of her poetry being performed on a local radio show. Holiday cards are common throughout the series. Invitations to birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and theatre openings are also present. Of particular note is correspondence from Pat Carroll, writing to Witcover about her experience as the voice of Ursula in Disney's 1989 <span class=\"title\">The Little Mermaid</span>.</p>"}
