Dear Sir:-  
I am a member of a Committee to ask members of the Club to become Life Members at $100, so as to create fund which could be used to help the building project. 
IT is impossible for me to ask all of he members who can afford to pay 100 so I take this means of reaching them.  
You will be helping the Club along and you will relieve yourself and the Financial Secretary of any further trouble by paying for a Life Membership. 
I hope you will consider this proposition favorably and send to me a check for $100 within a week as the money is urgently needed. 
Yours very truly, 
John C. Hennessy 
[TAE Marginalia] Don’t you think I have done my share by subscribing $1000 to the building fund for which I have sent my check
