{"value"=>"<p>This subseries contains notes, manuscripts, typescripts, galley proofs, publication tearsheets and reviews of the writings of Clarence Day. Much of this material is undated, though virtually all of Day's literary production took place during the years 1910-1935. Highlights include tearsheets of Day's earliest published verses, cartoons and stories, typescripts and galley proofs of his first book, <span class=\"title\">This Simian World</span>, and the heavily-edited and annotated tearsheets of numerous <span class=\"title\">Metropolitan Magazine</span> columns that Day used to compose <span class=\"title\">The Crow's Nest</span>. Perhaps most important are hundreds of pages of notes, manuscripts, typescripts, and tearsheets of Clarence Day's Father stories, as well as typescripts and galley proofs of the Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. edition of <span class=\"title\">Life With Father</span>. The wide range of Father material included here provides important insights into the composition of Clarence Day's most popular work, and documents the evolution of his style during the 1920s and 1930s as he struggled to achieve greater clarity and concision. Also filed here are galley proofs of posthumous collections of writings compiled by Katharine Day, and galley proofs of Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse's stage adaptation of <span class=\"title\">Life With Father</span>.</p>"}
