Letter No. 1
The first letter was mailed August 1,1962 on "Office of the Chambermaid" stationery:
Dear Mr. Jones:
I'm the Chambermaid.
I have my own stationery.
I take care of the rooms at The Plaza.
The rooms at The Plaza are The Plaza's heart and soul, the real reason
The Plaza is such a lovely memory in the minds of our guests
who visit us so often.
I like the rooms (and suites) better than anything else at The Plaza.
The reasonable room rates are our most important asset (that's what
our management says, so why there are special summer rates I'll
never know.) Anyway, the rooms have all sorts of advantages over
the other attractions at The Plaza.
You can eat magnificent food this summer in the Persian Room
(they're keeping it open . . . with entertainment), the Oak Room or
the Edwardian Room — but you can't lie down there. You can sip tea
or cocktails at five in the Palm Court — but you can't sleep there. You
can admire the beautiful new carpeting in the spacious halls and lobbies
of The Plaza — but not in your bare feet.
In your room at The Plaza you can dine, drink a toast, and be entertained
(FM or television). A room at The Plaza is home — or an
office if you want to be busy. Businessmen seem to love it.
You know how I know the rooms are the most important part of The
Plaza? Because The Plaza just spent over four million dollars redecorating
and air-conditioning them.
To top it all off they had this stationery engraved for me (that was in
addition to the four million).
Isn't it elegant? So is The Plaza.
Won't you come see for yourself?
Yours truly, Mary O'Sullivan
