<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">When describing a letter composed by one person (frequently a secretary) on behalf of another, what is best practice for choosing the author? Here’s a shorter example (1937):
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Dear Madam, In reply to your letter Lord Hambleden says he is glad to give a prize and has asked me to send you the enclosed five guineas. He is greatly looking
forward to seeing the exhibition. Yours faithfully, [secretary’s name]<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">In this example, would you treat Hambleden as author? If not, as contributor? If treating him as contributor, is there a relationship designator that would be appropriate? I have a handful of
such letters – of varying origination – at my desk now, so advice would be most welcome.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
