Description

Letter to Harold's friend Kingsley Ferguson, written during the final days of the War, in which he shares his postwar thoughts about opening a publicity agency specializing in industrial accounts with Charlie Robbins who had gone into advertising. There's no public relations agency in N.Y. which makes a specialty of industrial accounts, he observed, since they preferred to handle consumer products.
