{"value"=>"<p>This series includes love letters from <span class=\"persname\">John Barrymore</span> to <span class=\"persname\">Michael Strange</span> throughout the courtship and marriage and span the years 1917-1925. The letters use personal terms of endearment and are almost always affectionate and sometimes sexually explicit. Of special note are certain pet names used interchangeably by John Barrymore and Michael Strange. These include: Treacle, Fig and Dringal. The letters are often written in the third person and John Barrymore usually referred to himself as father and Michael Strange as \"his mother\". Occasionally there are marginal drawings done by Barrymore to illustrate his words. Included as well on the letters and envelopes are notes written by Michael Strange placing the letters in the context of familiar events in her life.</p> <div class=\"note\"> <p>Note: Correspondence series is available in reading copies only. Originals (Boxes 1, 2, and 3) will not be given to researchers without the permission of the curator.</p></div>"}
