I had a funny thought reading the letter (the actual letter at Forbes, not the vacuous qz.com summary). The letter is type-written, with nice tables and footnotes. That probably means that it was either hand-written by Buffet or by a secretary (or stenographed or whatever), and then given to a typist to format. In turn that means that some random lowly typist got to snoop on all this premium investment advice, that 20 years later would be becoming common wisdom. I wonder if she (I assume a typist in the 70s would be female) noticed and appreciated it, perhaps acted on it.
