would particularly like : a gentleman in the best sense.
May we come to see you next Friday? Can you give us that day without in convenience? If not, please tell me so with friendly frankness. By that time I can tell you and Helen definitely what Robert can do with respect to the trip.
I thank you both for my part in the invitation,- but I am afraid I should be an encumbrance to the young people. With cordial regards to all, especially to Mrs. Muir, I am
Faithfully yours,
Melville B. Anderson
