With warm regards to Mrs. Meyer, believe me." The Edith letter, in full: "It was most kind of you to allow my parcel a corner in the bag, particularly since it was rather a large one-Later in the winter I shall tuck a smaller package with the bag on my own account & ask you to see that my sister gets it. I wish I could visit her with it, for I miss her sadly this winter. With thanks and the President's regards." In overall fine condition, with an area of thinning paper to the second page of the Theodore letter.
