{"value"=>"<p>This series, the largest and most comprehensive in the collection, includes Family Correspondence, General Correspondence, and Subject Files generated throughout the course of Tilden's legal and political career. The vast majority of the correspondence relates to his professional life. The General Correspondence is strong in documentation of Tilden's political career, but contains few insights into his personal life. Representation of Tilden's term as Counsel of the Corporation is limited to one folder. Tweed Ring material covers Tilden's investigation into the corrupt political machine through communications with colleagues, bankers, and members of the Ring. New York State Assembly Correspondence is notable for its coverage of the impeachment of New York State Supreme Court judges. Gubernatorial Correspondence includes material relating to the dismantling of the Canal Ring, material relating to state legislation, and a significant quantity of letters from Tilden's constituents. Subject files refer to files of correspondence segregated by Tilden relating to specific topics, such as canals and coastal defense.</p>"}
