2. Weekly or fortnightly, or perhaps daily, commercial letter for the Portuguese Market; news of foreign and (classified) of local market. Can develop into a weekly paper. Can bear ad vertisements. Can begin at once, or, at any rate, after (?).
3. Translation of catalogues, prospectures and other matter (such as ʺcoursesʺ, e.g. Raymont). Campaign per advertisements in general, trade and ʺclassʺ papers; by means of carefully chosen circulars; and by certain special letters, or the one intended for Standard Car Co., and for the several ʺinstitutesʺ which advertise translatable “Corresp[ondence] courses” etc.
4. Obtaining of advertisements from foreign firms, specially Bri tish and American, for Portuguese papers, according to their several advantages.
5. Obtaining, or, rather inter-obtaining of agencies. Manner of charging to be studied, but probably from the agents, must † this end.
6. Preparation of propaganda of Portugal – (1) by means of ad vertisements in foreign papers; (2) by means of articles and publications(not O[riginal] editions) , translated, etc.; (3) by means of special leaflets (as in Estoril, etc) and booklets.
7. “All about Portugal ”: propaganda (national [and] commercial) year book.
8. Preparation of Six-Language Technical and Commercial Dictionary. O[riginal] editions, printed and prepared in Portugal. (1) Cir culars for subscriptions, at a reduced rate, and perhaps even for advertisements; (2) post-cards announcing editions to be ready. Prepare from now.

The archive I once thought of, by special circulars abroad concerning Portuguese articles. Files, as complete as possible, in this respect. (As a basis for the supply here, a commercial weekly letter, or something like it, as a sort of intro duction, is really an asset).
