Dear Mr. Yonkers:

Our family is planning a two-week trip through Kentucky and Tennessee during the summer of

20—. Please send a brochure or pamphlet listing the scenic attractions of eastern Tennessee

and a highway map for the state. Because we are photography buffs and avid hikers, we are

interested specifically in geographic scenery, not man-made attractions.

Please send the two items to me at the address above. I understand this is a service you pro-

vide for those planning vacations in the area.

We’re looking forward to our visit to your part of the country.

Sincerely yours,

Gerald Kleimann
