{"value"=>"<p>The correspondence is divided into two sub-series, Personal and Professional. The first contains correspondence between Finney and his family or close personal friends. The second contains correspondence between Finney and other composers, colleagues, publishers, music presenters, students, musicians and conductors, and deals with various aspects of his professional composing or teaching life. Before examining this series, the researcher should read the transcript of a tape Finney made in 1982 describing the letters he was donating to the library; it also serves as a short memoir. It is located in New York Public Library correspondence, Box 8, Folder 5. Although some letters from Finney are gathered in sub-levels of their own, many more are located throughout the series if they were part of an ongoing set of correspondence between him and another party. Oversized correspondence is in Series VII, Sub-series 2, Oversized Materials.</p>"}
