Scope and content
Wants to give a 'special and meaningful' gift to his two young sons, that might inspire them 'to want to dedicate their lives, talents, and energies towards to betterment of the world and humanity itself'. Thinks that a 'portfolio of autographs, autographed pictures, letters, or perhaps, a small note from some of the great, famous, and most admired and respected people of their lifetime' might be such a gift. Therefore asks FH to supply an autograph. [Letter marked by Barbara Hoyle, 'Postcard sent Nov. 75']
