Dear Mr. O'Farrell,
On behalf of the Chalmers Automotive Company, I would like to offer you our heartiest congratulations on your successes during the recently completed season.
As I am sure you know, beginning last season, our company awards a "Chalmers 30" roadster to the batting champion in each major league. Since you and Mr. Moriarity of New York finished with marks that required such extensive mathematics to separate, we have decided that each of you should receive an automobile.
Therefore, we invite you and Mrs. O'Farrell to travel to Detroit at our expense, at your earliest convenience, to personally select the color and accessories you would like, and to be photographed for the newspapers. We would also like to discuss the possibility of you appearing in a series of endorsements for our company at that time.
Please write to us and inform us when you would like to visit Detroit, and we will begin making all necessary arrangements.
Once again, our congratulations on your outstanding season. Our best wishes to you and Mrs. O'Farrell.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Chalmers
President, Chalmers Automotive Company
