In A Letter Dated May 29, 1930, Rosa Faulkner Yancey Writes To Mr. Kyle (Probably James Roland Kyle, 1856-1933) Of Lynchburg, Virginia, Offering To Sell In Advance A Page For His Family History In Her Proposed Book About Lynchburg [Lynchburg And Its Neighbors, Published In 1935].
The “Plan Is To Sell In Advance A Certain Number Of Pages For Family Histories And Genealogies. The Price Will Be $15 Per Page Of About 325 Words, The Page Or Pages Thus Bought To Contain The Material Furnished By The Subscriber, Either Written By Himself, Or By Me From His Data, As He Prefers.” This Would Entitle The Subscriber To One Copy Of The Published Book.
