Significance

This is a highly significant document for understanding Henry's impact during the PM Magazine era. It proves that his work in Washington D.C. was being broadcast nationally through the Westinghouse cooperative system and was recognized by critics in other markets (in this case, his former home market of Buffalo) as being of superior quality to the rest of the national feed.
