{"value"=>"<p>Correspondence primarily dates from the 1980s onward. There are a very small number of unsent or draft letters written by Carroll; otherwise all correspondence is incoming. Early letters include a 1974 letter from Bill Berkson containing advice to Carroll regarding next steps in his life and work, and letters from Anne Waldman on the publication of Carroll's pieces in anthologies. A 1983 letter from Waldman includes a poem she wrote for Carroll. Other correspondence includes letters, cards, and postcards from editors, agents, friends, and family. Letters from fans mostly date after 1995. Enclosures such as photographs, poems, and clippings are sometimes included with the correspondence. Throughout the correspondence, there are printed ephemera such as tickets, event invitations, and postcards by the Alternative Press.</p>"}
