DEAR SIR:

I ACKNOWLEDGE WITH THANKS YOUR GIFT OF CIGARETTES. IT IS A VERY THOUGHTFUL GESTURE AND IS APPRECIATED, I’M SURE. ALTHOUGH THE PACKAGE TRAVELED MANY MILES AND WAS PROBABLY THROWN ABOUT QUITE A BIT, IT REACHED ME IN GOOD CONDITION.

I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SENDING TO ME THE NAMES OF ANY 1933 GRADUATES WHO MIGHT HAPPEN TO BE IN AUSTRALIA—ALSO THEIR ADDRESS.

SINCERELY,
Harry E. Yoken
