"I cannot accept the inclosed [sic]. This family had some what pinched time for a few years but finally the boys brought their affairs around with handsome results. And this excursion of the last two years is the joint celebration of it. The pleasure of having you and Kitty as part of that celebration does not permit of an admission fee! Nevertheless we do appreciate deeply the feeling which lead you to propose it. Allan has gone to Guatemala with some hope which I will tell you about." With flattened mail folds.
