My dear Sir:- 



You have been selected by our Advisory Board as one whose 

 services to the welfare of Massachusetts are sufficiently worthy 

 to be commemorated by a sketch in the Biographical History of 

 Massachusetts . 



In order to facilitate the preparation of such a sketch of 

 your life, v/e ask your co-operation to the extent of answering as 

 fully as possible such of the questions on the enclosed blank as 

 you think pertinent to your individual career. We desire the 

 material for the assistance of our editors in preparing your biog- 

 raphy. We shall ask the privilege of submitting to you the article 

 prepared from the data furnished in order that you may examine it 

 before publication and make any suggestions ycu may deem advisable. 

 It will be an especial favor if you will forward this data enclosed 

 in the accompanying stamped envelope at your earliest convenience. 

 We wish to emphasize the fact that by co-operating with us in this 

 important matter, you incur no financial obligation to any one. 



The distinctive characteristic of this work is to be its 

 autobiographical value, to perpetuate the history of the Common- 

 wealth and the memory of men who have assisted in the establishment 

 and preservation of its great interests. 



Very truly yours , 



Editor-in-Chief.
