{"value"=>"<p>World War II Correspondence consists of two scrapbook volumes, as well as letters to and from Library staff and military personnel in the United States and overseas. Most of the correspondence is from current and former Library staff to colleagues still working at NYPL. Although written under military censorship conditions, the letters document military life and the camaraderie that existed among Library staff both in and out of the armed forces. Letters are arranged alphabetically by recipient, and further sorted within each recipient group by writer. Recipients include Salvatore \"Doc\" Frisina, Head of Shipping Room; Robert W. Henderson, Head of General Reference; Lillie Sarmiento, of Preparation Services; and William R. Thurman, Head of the Bindery.</p>"}
