Scope & Content |
Correspondence from Junius B. Fishburn using Times-World Corporation letterhead, to S. H. McVitty of Salem, Virginia. This seems to be an informal letter with some jovial remarks as well as current happenings known by the two men. Mr. Fishburn includes several items with this letter. They are a German mark note for 500,000 marks and a Confederate fifty dollar bill. It is interesting to note the postscript added by Mr. Fishburn -- "I didn't send you the first ten cents in paper money I ever made. I decided to keep that." |
