{"value"=>"<p>This series, arranged by format, contains concert programs, correspondence, photographs, clippings, writings, financial records, and school workbooks. The concert programs, which extensively document Case's performance career from 1912 to the 1930s, are in three bound books and one folder of loose programs. The books are in fragile condition. Most of the programs are for solo recitals, though there are some from the Metropolitan Opera as well.</p> <p>The correspondence mostly deals with Case's career and is usually not of a personal nature. It includes fan letters, logistical and contractual correspondence regarding performances, and publishing/copyright correspondence. The folder of Clarence Mackay correspondence discusses the awarding of a military honor named for him. The photographs contain publicity shots of Case from her opera days, several portraits of her and Mackay likely dating from the early 1930s, and a few later, undated photos.</p> <p>The clippings (many of them copies of the originals) are mostly from New York-area newspapers. Though some articles address Case's music career, most mention Case in a society context, as she had married into wealth. The writings are a combination of song lyrics and personal essays (including a few discussing her family history). They also include radio scripts sent to Case. The financial records consist of correspondence between Case and her financial advisors. The school workbooks are for classes in French, German, and English.</p>"}
