Dear Miss Anthony -
Your letter -welcome as the spring-time - reached Mrs. Burdette this morning. And as I found a line or two in it for me, I am going to answer my part in it.

You refer to our meeting on the platform of the Friday morning Club in Los Angeles in '96. I was very proud of that honor. When I was a "cub reporter" on the Peoria, Ill. Transcript I "reported" a convention you held in that city. I'll never forget how you "slammed down" Tom Cratty - excuse my French - and he was our star lawyer. When I had the distinguished honor of having you in my audience at Johnstown, Pa. And I hope to see you

Mrs. Burdette says I need not monopolize all of her letter. But I will add this - you owe us a call. Pay it at "Sunnyrest" and see what good care we can take of you.
Cordially your friend
Robert J. Burdette.
No; we didn't make any mistake when we came away from your home. That visit must have set our faces in the right direction - toward each other. Come and see!
