After many01846[4]your book is the result of much study and deep thought and as the attitude in this photo is that of one in deep thought it will be quite apropos. Mr. Sellers and Frank join me in kind regards to Mrs. Muir and yourself and kisses for those dear little girls. I am very sincerely yoursFay H. SellersChicago.
