{"value"=>"<p>The diaries/notebooks kept by Grumbach, which span the period 1962-1987; n.d., are contained in twenty-four numbered memorandum books and loose- leaf binders (ca.13x20 cm.). The entries are made with ball point pen in a hand which varies from clear and legible, to cramped and difficult. The entries recording daily social life and activities are frequently discontinuous and interspersed with notes of meetings and conferences attended, sojourns at writers' colonies, ideas for books and articles, quotes from readings, research notes, introspections, and miscellaneous jottings. A brief summary of the contents of the volumes follows.</p>"}
