{"value"=>"<p>This series is divided into three subseries: Agreement summary books; Author contract cards; and Manuscript files. These files contain information about manuscripts received by Russell and Volkening, publishers and periodicals to whom the manuscripts were sent, and incomes paid to authors for the manuscripts that were sold. This series documents how manuscripts were tracked within the agency, from the assignment of a number in the manuscript registers to the number of publishers and periodicals a manuscript might be sent before it was sold. Also documented in this series are the advances, royalties, and percentages paid on each sale.</p>"}
