Dear Rotewien Oling er:

In writing to Gerald House, the wibenhdacs of our Lawrence
Rotary Club, I recalled an incident about two weeks ago when I spoke
to the thirty Jimior Rotarians at Russell, xansas. The Rotary Club
thexe was giving them their amual banquet and they asked me to go
out to speak to the boys.

., Prior to my going} I was rummaging through some old files
of mine and produced the letter you had written mo on November 18,
1929, on my birthday. I used the socond paragraph of yow letter
aga text. It reads as follows:

"When I was a boy, there was a man who made a most vivid impression
on my life and taught me then that the only things in life that we
keep are the things that we give away; that the laws of life ask a
tenth of ow earning power and a tenth of ourselves; that it is a
bigger job to build a life than it is to build a business."

. I do want to thank you so much for sending me the inspir-—
ational cards which have just been received, They are lovely. The

one that made the strongest impression on me was the one that did

not have a printed word on it. It was Nature, with all of her beauties

againes @ background of sparkling water and rolling clouds. ;

Again thanking you for your kindness, I an

Rotarily yours,
