SUMMARY:
A correspondent asks the head curator to sign a linen autograph cloth to be sold for a 'Cause', noting the B. & Bleach Linen Co. supplied the linen and it will be exhibited in their windows. Signed by Mrs R. Barrington-Hertz, with a note mentioning J. B. Procter.

CONTENT:
I'm fact, all sports, professions etc. are represented, & I, who spend so much of my time at the Zoo, crave to have you, the head Curator of such a splendid group, of it - as representative of the animals I love so much.
Please will you write your name on the enclosed piece of paper for me? I shall be so grateful.
The Cloth is on pure white Linen with handsome border of drawn thread work all round - the autographs in scarlet letterings in the centre. It has been all over the world nearly for signatures, but some names I have to ask for over myself. Otherwise the Cloth could not be filled up, or worked by me in time for December this year. It is, of course, going to be sold - for the same 'Cause'. The B. & Bleach Linen Co. have me the linen to make the new one of - & it is to be exhibited in several of their windows as soon as ever it is finished.
Trusting you will grant me this favour.

Yours faithfully,
(Mrs) R. Barrington-Hertz.

This J. B. Procter.

Dear Madam,

I should very much like to
have the pleasure of publishing an
interview with you in an early issue of
"TIT-BITS" if you would be kind enough
to spare my special representative a
few moments at your early convenience.

Anything written would be
submitted to you for your approval before
publication.

If this suggestion appeals to
you, I should esteem it a very great
favour if you would not give interviews
to any other papers until this interview
has appeared in "TIT-BITS."

May I hope to hear from you
on this matter as soon as possible?

Yours faithfully,

P. R. Barbour
EDITOR.
