Miami Beach, Fla.
Dear Madam:
Thank you very much for the courtesies extended to Mr. Fisher, of our
editorial staff, who reports checking with you the outline biography of
your husband, the late Carl G. Fisher, as prepared for The national
Cyclopedia of American Biography. At Mr. Fisher's reouest we are
enclosin°: the manuscript of the article for your further correction
and amplification, and we trust you will return this at your early
convenience.
We are very pleased that you are considering the ouestion of a portrait
to accompany this biography of Mr. Fisher, and enclose a brochure
describing this feature, which is one of the most outstanding and interest-
ing of the Cyclopedia.
This Cyclopedia is a national .and permanent work of reference whose
purpose is to supply the world with authentic information on American
achievement in every line of activity and in the fifty years of its
existence the distribution of its published volumes has been world
wide. There is no other work of its kind which so thoroughly covers
the entire field of American history and is considered by the librarians
as the most comprehensive reference work available. There could be no
more satisfactory or permanent memorial than a portrait of Mr. Fisher
accompanying his biography in The national Cyclopedia. of American
Biography, which will always be the first place consulted by those
seeking information about his career.
We hope you will consider this favorably and decide upon the halftone
portrait costing X130.00, and is placed in the column with the text.
Payment may be made at your convenience, or, if.you prefer, in small
monthly installments.
When you return the biography we hope you will also let us have your
husband's best photograph and your authorization to proceed with the
work on the engraving.
Your interest and cooperation are very much appreciated.
