{"value"=>"<p>The majority of the correspondence represents a wide range of clients and date spans. There is also small amount of correspondence that was previously arranged by year (1980).</p> <p>Correspondence is primarily between John Springer, or one of his associates, and agents, gossip columnists, critics, other publicists, directors, and producers. There is little correspondence directly from clients. Letters detail arrangements for interviews, photo shoots, public appearances, and includes replies to queries from press members and other interested parties. The correspondence also details the contractual arrangements between the firm and clients, such as the fees paid to the firm. The fees varied by client, but were usually a fixed annual sum or percentage of client's earnings. Almost all of the firm's clients from the 1970s are represented in the correspondence, including Phyllis Diller; Richard Fleischer; Mike Nichols; Hal Prince; Debbie Reynolds; Liv Ullman; movies like Fritz the Cat, and Equus; and festivals like the Walt Disney Film Festival and the California Shakespeare festival.</p> <p>The small amount of correspondence arranged by year is an incomplete alphabetical run (A-F) from the 1980s. This run also includes one folder called \"Specials to columnists\" that consists of outgoing letters to New York City-based columnists, including many to Liz Smith.</p>"}
