DEAR MR. HILL:

Recognizing, as I do, that your position in commercial circles will

give your influence great weight, I take it upon myself to introduce

to you Mr. Philip Palmer, a graduate of one of the best business

colleges in New York City, and a young man of integrity and capacity.

Any recommendations which you can grant him will be looked upon as a

favor by

Your friend,

MILTON JONES.

To WILLIAM HILL,

Elmira, N. Y.

A general letter of introduction, intended for the perusal of

strangers, would read somewhat as follows:

_To whom it may concern_:

This is to certify that the bearer of this letter, Miss Marietta Hope,

was graduated with high honors from Vassar College, and has since

taught in the schools of this city. As her principal for a number

of months, I can truthfully recommend her as capable of filling any

position for which she may apply.

JAMES H. BLANCHARD,

Principal of Livingston School,

New York City.
