The Distributing Agent 
The Smithsonian Institute 
Washington, U. S. A. 
Dear Sir, 
I have been advised that you take an interest in certain 
English publications and arrange for their distribution, and 
therefore I presume in their sale in the United States. I 
believe that this arrangement is chiefly in connection with 
scientific and technical works. Will you advise me of your 
methods in the matter and if at any time I could cooperate with 
you, I need hardly say that if any of my publications should 
be available for the Institute, I should be glad to hear from 
you. Also if I could act as the English Publisher for you or 
give you any assistance in this connection I should be glad 
to do so. For instance, from time to time I act as the 
English Publisher for well known American firms and authors 
and I have been the English agent for the Universities of 
California, Chicago and Baltimore. 
In order that you may be acquainted with the work I do 
I am sending you a selection of my lists and catalogues. 
I am 
Yours faithfully, 
(signed) T, Fisher Unwin.
