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.
