‘My dear Dr. F.C. Allen:

By way of Harry Green's
thoughtfulness it was possible for me to read
and meditate upon the letter written your wholly
adequate capacity as President of the Lawrence
Country Club. Right-off the theme, expansion with
foresight of the "little" conveniences which go
to give color and sporting purpose to any club,
infected my mood with enthusiasm. Briefly, what
can be called a definite step ahead in affairs at
the Lawrence is now a patent truth.

You have, as 0.W. Holmes
once put it, "formed your battalions and are now
fighting"....and again Forrect C. Allen is seen
to be exerting a force....it can never be said
of your life that is has not been an abundant
history.

Believe me,

Golfingly,
