The genuine welcome extended me by you in your letter received today is, in turn, genuinely appreciated. I felt that one way in which I might testify to that appre- ciation would be to answer you immediately. Of course, I recognize your friendly attempt to build my morale in refering to me as an "expert" golfer, to which I reply that I hope to benefit by the expertness displayed by yourself and Dr. Jay. With such out- standing competentcy available for a goal, I feel justified in promising that I shall endeavor to improve. Thank you for invit- ing me to join your foursome. Both Mrs. Rible and I look forward to our proposed experience and associations with keen enthusiasm. Your warm welcome ampli- fies that enthusiasm. Cordially, R m
