_Requests for information_

Bradford Mills, Pa.,
August 9, 1923.

Dr. Louis Elliott,
29 Walnut Street,
Philadelphia, Pa.

My dear Dr. Elliott:

I am writing a paper on Vitamines to be read before the
Mothers' Club, an organization of Bradford Mills mothers.

I have drawn most of my material from your article in the
_Medical Magazine_, acknowledging, of course, the source of my
information. There are several points, however, on which I am
not clear. As it is of great importance that this subject be
presented to the mothers correctly, I am addressing you
personally to get the facts.

1. Am I to understand that no other foods than those
you mention contain these vitamines?

2. Are all the classes of vitamines necessary to life
and will a child fed on foods containing all the known
vitamines be better conditioned than one fed on only
one kind?

I shall greatly appreciate your answering my questions. The
members of the club have shown surprising interest in this
matter of food.

Yours sincerely,
Mabel Manners.

The Prentiss Candy Co.,
Long Island City, N. Y.

Gentlemen:

The _Better Food Magazine_, to which I am a contributor, has
asked me to make an investigation of the manufacture of the
most widely advertised foods, with a view to writing an
article on foods for the magazine.

I should like if possible to talk with someone and to make a
short visit to the factory. If you can arrange an appointment
for me during the next week, will you let me know? I shall
greatly appreciate it.

Very truly yours,
(Miss) Vera Henderson.
