Care et H. Frater:-
I thank you very much for the fine box of candy, you sent me, they were the best taffy’s I had ever had, & I certainly enjoyed them.
I hope you will be able to attend the meeting on the 28th as we expect 5 of the Washington Group to be at our Temple to take their 3=8 advancement.
How do you like Atlantic City?
I wish your parents much business success. I do not think I will get there this summer, as my father-in-law is still bed fast & no prospect of release.
Kindest Regards – Fraternally
