Mr. S. L. Clemens,
Dear sir:
Would you permit me to propose your name for membership in the New York Press Club? The objects of the organization are the promotion of social intercourse and friendly feeling among its members; the extending of aid to them when necessary; and the advancement of the interests of the profession of Journalism. We have a membership of nearly two hundred, comprising proprietors, editors and reporters of the press. The initiation fee is but two dollars and the annual dues twelve dollars. Meetings are held on the first Saturday of each month.
Hoping you will visit our rooms when in this vicinity, and trusting that you will become one of us at no distant day, I remain
Respectfully yours,
Valentine
Hammann,
Secretary of Executive Committee.
