The Early Birds 627 Park Avenue New York City

March 14, 1939

Miss Mario[a]n Anderson c/o WEAF 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, N.Y.

My dear Miss Anderson:

I want you to know how much I enjoyed your part of the Circle Variety program with Basil, Groucho and the rest of the cast. It is wonderful to be blessed by God with the privilege of giving happiness of song and music to all mankind.

Long may you live to sing your way into the hearts of our people, whom I assure you are deeply grateful for your presence in our midst.

I am just a humble citizen, but may I speak for the millions of people who enjoyed listening to your marvelous voice over the ether waves.

Very cordially yours, [signature] Horace B. Wild

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
