THROUGH PEACE AND WARS SINCE 1720 [[image - creast]] A.D. 1720 Royal Exchange Assurance 111 JOHN STREET, NEW YORK EDWARD W. ELWELL UNITED STATES MANAGER WM. B. KELLY ASSISTANT MANAGER CHAS. M. SMITH ASSISTANT MANAGER JOHN KOENIG BRANCH SECRETARY TELEPHONE BARCLAY 7 - 7228 CABLE ADDRESS FOXHOUND, NEW YORK February 7, 1940 Mr.Michael A. Gitt 822 Park Avenue Plainfield, N.J. Dear Mike: Many thanks for sending me copies of the correspondence with United Air Lines. I have written to their Traffic representative today and I enclose for your information a copy of the letter. You will observe that I have purposely not asked for more than to secure that you have an interview in due course. I have always been under the impression that a modest request of this sort helps more towards obtaining the desirable result than an attempt to put too much pressure on the other party. I hope this will do the trick. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, E. W. Elwell Encl [[image - logo]]
