  This note was originated many years ago as my reaction to questions of
several people how free strongly homotopy algebras can be described and what
can be said about the structure of the universal enveloping A(m)-algebra of an
L(m)-algebra, and then circulated as a "personal communication." I must
honestly admit that it contains no really deep result and that everything I did
was that I expanded definitions and formulated a couple of statements with more
or less obvious proofs.
