{"value"=>"<p>The Correspondence series consists primarily of letters received by Sophia Delza in both a personal and professional capacity. In some instances, Delza retained drafts, carbon copies, or photocopies of letters she wrote. This material has been interfiled with the relevant letter(s) received when found. The dated copies of Delza's letters are most prevalent for the early 1960s (a period in which she was most actively touring and teaching in the United States and abroad). Delza's correspondents were numerous and varied, including many notable individuals from the literary, musical, and visual art communities, such as Ralph and Bena Mayer, Yehudi Menuhin, Christina Stead, and Leopold Stokowski. Frequent correspondents include friends living in China or with an interest in Chinese culture, including Edgar and Lois Snow and Sophia's tai chi teacher, Master Ma Yueh-liang. Correspondence with Delza family members has been filed in the Family papers sub-series. Letters between Sophia and her husband have been filed in the Cook Glassgold papers sub-series.</p>"}
