TNS, one page, 8 x 3.75, October 9, 1938. Note addressed to Mrs. William G. Laffer, in full: "A floor heated house will keep you comfortable and should think $8,000.00 would cover the cost of the house—and barring kennels and stalls for ponies the extra bedroom and den might be done within $8,000.00. Your needs are too expensive to be properly covered by the sum you mention." In fine condition. William Laffer was the president of the Clevite Corporation, a company that later purchased the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in 1960.
