{"value"=>"<p>The distinction between personal and professional correspondence here is somewhat arbitrary and artificial. Several of Delza's closest friends (particularly in later life) were fellow practitioners of tai chi. The content of many of the letters preserved by Delza frequently involves some reference to t'ai chi ch'uan (TCC) and may directly or indirectly touch on some of her professional dealings. In certain instances, the basis of the relationship clearly was primarily professional, but, due to the high volume of the correspondence, those letters have been filed in this sub-series for ease of use. Of particular interest is a 1944 letter from Agnes de Mille inviting Sophia to an audition of <span class=\"title\">Liliom</span>, i.e. <span class=\"title\">Carousel</span>. Also included in this sub-series are an extensive set of greeting cards (including many handmade items) and postcards received by Delza.</p>"}
