Letters of Introduction

Never seal a letter of introduction. Mention the business in which the party whom you are introducing is or was engaged. Write the name of the party introduced in the left-hand corner of the envelope containing the introduction. Thus: you wish to introduce Col. Pearson, of New York, to Mr. Thomas Milton, of Chicago. Direct your letter as below.

Thomas Milton, Esq., Introducing 178 State Street, Col. Pearson, of New York.

Chicago, Ill.

If you want to be stylish, send your letter of introduction, with your card, by the servant at the private residence of the person to whom you are introduced. Send a letter with your card if you present it at a merchant's office. Dear Ethel,
