Sarnoff's replies are usually curt acknowledgements typed on official RCA letterhead. There are also two issues of the Marconi Service News from 1917 with notices of the young Sarnoff, then a rising Marconi employee.

Ethel Lippman was born on Oct. 12, 1892 and was a friend of David Sarnoff's youth. Her parents supposedly objected to their marriage because they viewed Sarnoff as just a wireless clerk with no prospects. Instead, she married Martin Lippman, a New York lawyer. Lippman's and Sarnoff's sons attended Andover together. Ethel Lippman corresponded with Sarnoff until his final illness. She died on Sept. 17, 1987.
