Letter from Arjay Miller
about ‘Henry. A Life of Henry Ford II’ by Walter Hayes
July 8, 1990
Dear Walter:
First let me thank you for having your publisher send me a copy of your excellent book on Henry. In my opinion, you have captured the essence of the man far better than any one else has ever done, or ever will do. In addition to content, you have a great writing talent. Reading your book has brought back many fond memories, and has been a real joy. Again, congratulations.
Best wishes always,
Arjay
