Dear Jim,
Following up on our telephone conversation of yesterday, I went
to the Archives and Special Collections department of the
University of Miami 's Richter Library today and listened to
some of Polly 's taped interviews of Miami Beach pioneers.
Those that I listened to partially were in remarkably good
condition considering that they are more than 25 years old.
As I told you, I am writing a new history of Miami Beach and
would like to listen to and quote from some of Polly 's
interviews -- with full credit, of course, to Polly. It 's been
20 years since Billion Dollar Sandbar was published and it is
an entirely different Miami Beach than she saw and reported. As
you can see by the enclosed restriction , she set rules by which
this material can be used.
As you are her heir, I therefore am requesting permission from
you to be able to copy some of the tapes. The purpose of
copying is only for convenience. I would find it much more
convenient to have the tapes at my side when working on
sections of the book, instead of having to go to the U-Miami
library each time I would want to avail myself of them.
Upon completion of the book, all copies I made of the tapes
would be given back to the University of Miami ._
I also would like to copy her notes of the tapes. They really

are more a brief summary than notes, summarizing the gist of
what the person was saying.
Among the 21 tapes in the possession of the archives, these are
the ones I would like to copy:
Pete Chase interviews: 9/28/66; 10/5/66; 5/8/67; 5/12/67;
4/4/68. Jane Fisher interview: 4/4/67. Cloyd B. Hewes
interview: 10/26/66. Bill Muir interview: 2/20/67. Russell
Pancoast interviews: 3/30/67; 5/15/67.
If you agree to this, please let me know by initialing this
letter or by sending a separate letter.
Sincerely yours,
Howard Kleinberg
