Dear Morris:
Your letter touched me very much and every word of it was appreciated. I suppose as one gets older the assurance by a colleague that he has left a mark is very pleasant. To have made friends is [illegible] important; and it is the friendliness of your letter that gives me great satisfaction. I assure you that Gertrude and I esteem highly the friendship that you and Inez have always shared. Faithfully yours,
Charles B.D.
