them, and in teaching them to know and love these things. May your book meet with all the success it deserves! It cannot fail to enrich the lives of all who read it. I trust you are all well and happy in this glorious holiday weather. Mrs Keeler joins me in loving greetings to you and yours.

Sincerely,

Charles Keeler
