Mr. Herbert Hoffman,
Dept. of Buildings & Grounds,
University of Kansas.

Dear Mre iUoffman:

I have always noticed a gentle twinkle in
your eye. I knew you were thankful for many
things, but wntil I heard your son speak yester~
day I did not know how many fine reasons you had
for that twinkle. Congratulations on having such
a wonderful family!

You have many reasons to be thankful. Life
has been good to you and you have been good to
people. It was a great pleasure to have you with
us at Rotary, and so thoughtful of Professor
Herbert Hungerford in asking you.

You have made us very happy with your thought-
fulness in bringing flowers to our office. There
is nothing better than flowers to express tenderest
and sincerest wishes and thoughtfulness.

Very sincerely yours,

FCA: Au ‘President.
