I regret exceedingly
that the continued illness
of my son will prevent my
visit to your city in time to
attend your festive anniversary
My son pas passed the danger
point and just began to conval-
esce and his mother and my-
self devote our entire time to
prevent a relapse. (again.)
Our family all send congratulations
and love for yourself and wife with
a hope that you may have many
more happy anniversarys

We all hope that it will be your
pleasure to visit us again this
spring as we are very desirous
of your spendning a few weeks up
at our fish ponds. I want to
fish with you in Clear l^L^ake and
the stree^a^ms adjacent.
