{"value"=>"<p>These five folders contain diverse letters, memoranda, and other papers that have no connection with specific subjects but that are of biographical interest or shed light on AHS's personality. The first folder contains memoranda to family members and NYT's associates, ranging from stories evidently intended for children to notes about personal or business relationships. Included are his contemplative reminiscences of 1958-1959, his note to OED comparing their relationship to AHS's with ASO (1959) and his letter to Morris S. Lazaron on the need for compromises (1945). The second folder contains official papers including AHS's birth certificate, grade school report card, military identification cards, driver's license, etc. The third folder contains correspondence, mainly about unusual requests or suggestions but includes letters by AHS's boyhood acquaintances and by some writers who could not be identified. Some of the letters ask about his aspirations, others about the causes of his success. The fourth and fifth folders contain Lucille Sunshine's collection of excerpts from AHS's articles, letters and speeches.</p>"}
