My dear Mr. Blossom:
I am grateful for yours of Au^st 25d and assure you
that your queries and suggestions will/always be welcomed, especially
when they involve matters of fact. Im matters of style (Spanish accents,
punctuation in general, etc.) you majs safely assume that all our cards
will be modernized when and as they come up for reprinting, hence re-
minders in individual cases (unless pxceptionally likely to be over-
looked) are perhaps unnecessary.
Your statement regarding the final in "Turquoise" (Pogue)
e_
is extremely interesting, as I have letters from Mr. Pogue and from
r/iT. Brockett, Executive Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, both
positively disclaiming any knowledge of such an issue. If you feel
like lending your copy to us I should like to compare it with the
other issues with a view to solving the problem.
Very truly yours.

Mr, Frederick A. Blossom, Librarian,

New York City.
My dear Mr. Blossom:
Several weeks ago you advised the Card Division to the
effect that you had a copy of Pogue's "The Turquois" with this
word spelled, on the title-page, \rf.th a final _e (tiirquoise)
May I ask whether your copy is identical with the one described
on our card 15-26275, or with 16-1440 (both cards enclosed)?
If it corresponds with neither, will you kindly send us a photo-
stat of the title-page and an indication of the differences
(Insofar as these may be determined by an examination of our
cards) between your copy and ours?
Very truly yours,
/Ccfl^-o^-cC?
