{"value"=>"<p>Until Tina Brown became editor of the New Yorker in 1992 the New Yorker had never published letters to the editor; nevertheless, it answered many of them. This subseries consists of readers' letters and the carbon copies of the staff's typed responses. Letters are filed alphabetically within years, either by name of letter's author, name of the author of the article to which the letter reacts, or general subject headings such as \"Advertisements.\" Of special note are the two large groups of letters in response to James Baldwin's \"Letter from a Region in My Mind\" (Box 1000) and Rachel Carson's \"Silent Spring\" (Box 1000-1001). The subseries also includes letters to the editor which point out errors made in the magazine (1971-1985, Boxes 1012-1021). Letters to the Editor can also be found in \"Harold Ross/General Files\" (series 1.1), \"Art Correspondence\" (series 3.4), \"Administrative Files,\" and \"General Files\" (series 4.1-4.4).</p>"}
