{"value"=>"<p>The Correspondence series contains letters, postcards, greeting cards, and other materials, primarily of a professional nature. Much of the correspondence dates from Michel's time in New York, but also includes some earlier items. There are three folders of family correspondence, which include postcards from Michel's parents, as well as items that postdate his death, such as condolence letters sent to his sister and documentation of a later effort made by his niece to get the manuscript for his book translated and published. In addition to letters from a wide range of dance notables, the collection includes communications from artists, such as Emil Orlik and Kurt Werth, as well as scholars, including Walter Toscanini and Else Lasker-Schüler. Photographs found with the letters have been moved to the Photographs series, as noted in the container list.</p>"}
