SYLVIA PORTER
Signed letter to fellow economics author Caroline Bird
Typed Letter signed: "Sylvia", 1 page, 8½x11. New York, N. Y., 1976 March 30. On letterhead of the Field Newspaper Syndicate to Caroline Bird, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. In full: "Thank you so much for your clippings. I was utterly thrilled to receive them! For weeks now I have been plotting a whole column on your 'Enterprising Women' and I shall get to it very soon. I will alert you as to when it will run, so that you in turn can alert Norton. Always my love to you, and the best to your husband." Economist and journalist Sylvia Porter (1913-1994) was a bond adviser to an investment firm before starting her own syndicated financial column in 1934. For the first 8 years, she wrote as S. F. Porter, fearing that financial advice from a woman would not be well received, but as Sylvia Porter she would reach an estimated 40 million readers with her knack for translating abstruse economic concepts into everyday language. Successive editions of Sylvia Porter's Money Book were big sellers. Caroline Bird (b. 1918), the letter's recipient, has a resume similar to Porter's. Her titles tend to be more provocative, however, as in her The Case Against College (1975). Lightly toned. Multiple mailing folds. Corners lightly creased. Fine condition.
