Dear Phog:

Thank you very much for your letter of the 23rd
instant. Mrs. Ratner and I greatly enjoyed the visit
with you and Mrs. Allen and the team. We are happy
that you could spend the evening with us.

We are looking forward to receiving the Goal-Hi
basketball outfit. It surely is mighty nice of you to
send this to us, and I know we will get a lot of
pleasure out of it.

The children are looking forward to receiving the
basketball. They will get a real thrill out of having
it.

With very best wishes, I am

en Vater.
