My Dear Carrie1;

The enclosed article pleases me more than many university degrees. I think I told you the old gentleman wrote asking me for a photograph some five or six years ago. But I do like to think it is in his study—and in such splendid company! I do think father4 would be pleased at that.

Tomorrow I go down to New York5, Hotel Grosvenor6, 35 Fifth Avenue.

I've never thanked you for the furniture polish7, but it was a great help.
