"Dear Mrs. Fisher:

Thank you for the enclosed photograph and clipping, and for the use of your scrapbook during the recent showing of your excellent collection of miniature furniture. They proved extremely helpful in doing the newspaper releases.

Your collection proved every bit as exciting as you explained it and as it was explained in your scrapbook.

Continued success in your project."
