http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43884289

Brief (1 p.), typed correspondence, dated Oct. 12, 1967, to John Cumming at Clarke Historical Library from Henry Ford II. In the letter, Ford stated that the Ford family never sought to suppress the sale of Bennett's book entitled, "We never called him Henry," about Henry Ford (1863-1947), as Cumming had apparently asked in an earlier note. The letter was signed by Ford and was typed on Ford Motor Co., Henry Ford II, Chairman of the Board letterhead. The envelope is included.
