Q Lexington, Kentucky.
gl Dear Fred:
I? I I returned home feeling perfectly exhausted after
P} my strenuous efforts to see that you were elected president
§’ A of the A. H. A. There was a time during the voting when I t
·% was afraid we had not spent enough money to secure enough
jg votes. Anyhow, I am glad that at last power prevaled and that
ig justice was put underfoot. ·
<§ Seriously speaking, I just want you to know how de-
j@ lighted your many thousands of friends are and that there is
gj no one in that group more delighted than I. I hope you will
Fg not answer this letter, for I know how busy you must be acknow-
EZ ‘ ledging those letters you have to acknowledge.
gg p The only thing I regret about my Cleveland trip is
Q; that I did not see Missy, for it is hard for me to believe she
g{ is the young lady you described, though it always has been my
gl hope that she would take after her mother and she has evidently.
ig slice joins me in love to you all and congratulations
EQ to the n. L. A. e»
ii _ Sincerely yours, pp
