Dear Judge Hughs

Thank you very much for your lovely letter regarding
the playground. 1 aiways appreciate a letter many, many
times more then I do a greetinge While the greeting has —
the personal effect which cannot be substituted, the letter
entails a lot mere effort. And the fact that you sat dom
and wrote me this letter makes me know you not only define —
itely felt what you said but you teok the time to write ite
It wag goed of you to do thise

I got a great deal of pleasure from seeing the child=
ren playing and 2 do know too that they are developing their
physical bedies as well as thoir emotional selwes. If a
youngster can have a a ee ee © eee eee oe
a fine heritage, and certainly I lmow of no place in the
world where inspirations can be developed te a higher degree
than on top of Mount Oread where it is cool, lovely and
restiule

The tiny ones may not appreciate all the men who have
gone before, but the teeneage youngsters know of such men
as you and others who have derived their finest inspirations
on Mount Oread, and it is a goed place for all of us to
assemble.

Won't you come up some evening with Mree Means and
enjoy this with the children?

Sincerely yours,
