Correspondence from John Quinn to B. Altman & Co.

 

 

 

B. Altman & Co.

Fifth Ave. and 34th St.,

New York City

 

 

December 4, 1914.

 

 

Dear Sirs:

 

Referring to the call of Mr. Perry of your credit department, I beg to say that I have known Mr. Crowley for some little time, particularly as a poet and a man of letters. I do not personally know of his financial means or resources. I believe him to be honest and I believe that he would not undertake an obligation that he did not expect and feel competent and able to pay.

 

Yours very truly,

 

John Quinn
