{"value"=>"<p>This series contains Ms. Barker’s letters to both professional associates and personal friends. Theatrical celebrities to whom Ms. Barker wrote include Harold Clurman, Katharine Cornell (incomplete letter), Cheryl Crawford, Clifford Odets, and Molly Thacher (Kazan). There is a three-page letter to Antoinette Perry outlining the activities of her Group 559 of the American Theatre Council. Ms. Barker’s personal correspondence includes letters to Halley Erskine, a postcard to Ann Macfarlane, and a series of letters to “Aunt” Helen Fay, a bookstore owner, who apparently pursued celebrities. These letters were returned to Ms. Barker after Miss Fay’s death and provide identification information for Ms. Barker’s family members’ names and for her professional activities.</p>"}
