to be deeply impressed. Did you go up the
Washington monument & notice the granite
slabs supplied by the various states? And
the new Lincoln memorial?

Annapolis, also, is a mighty interesting
place and I am glad that you have at
last seen the place where I enjoyed five
years of student toil. The surroundings
with the Severn on one side, Chesepeake on
the other and old Annapolis itself on the
shore side are very instructive and beautiful.
It was some place!

What did you think of Baltimore? I
nearly owned the Baltimore Sun once thru
the daughter — but I guess it is just as
well that I did not go into the publishing
business.

Give my best to Norman, Helen & baby Patricia
and likewise to Roy Tulle & Mr. Scbrat. Why
dont you call on Bogie Bogardus at the Bankers
Trust 42nd & Fifth (He married Berd Carter, you
know). How's Broadway?

With best regards, I am as ever
Richard "Dick" Waller Bates.
