Dear Comrade:

Hurrah for the new Grandfather! How does it feel? Rather glorious, I'd say. We received a happy wire and returned one at once. What a relief for all of you to have it over! I judged that all was well when the wire was sent.

Yes, when you can find time approach Pattee, setting forth the points I made in my three letters and others that occur to you.

You shall have the Messiah lines. When is zero hour for the Jan. number.

Love always

Jno.
