Dear Member:
Our 1949 Equity Fund Pamphlet is enclosed. We believe great things will be done in the coming year. The Board has decided that now is the time to launch a real fund raising program with the lay public. Artists Equity Fund is now working on the organization of that campaign.
We hope and expect to raise enough money to put through Equitry's most important plans in the near future. In order to do so every member must help by sending us the names of possible workers and contributors. We the artists, together, know who is interested in the arts; who buys pictures and sculpture; who can afford the time and money to put this campaign across. The more names you can supply, the more helpful it will be. At the very least, everyone must know three potential large givers.
Please mail the attached index card in the enclosed envelope before December 15th, and list on it the names and addresses of all the prospects you can find.
We will not use your name unless you specifically gave permission but we ask you to sign the card. If you can give us additional information about the prospects it will, of course, be most helpful. 
I am sure you realize that the success of the undertaking rests with all of us and I urge you to act at once.
Sincerely yours,
ARTISTS EQUITY ASSOCIATION
