Transcript

December 30, 1920. Mr. M. S. MacKay, Tenafly, N. J. Dear Mr. Mackay:- Your diagram of the fire place, Charley received. I do think I will try to tell you anything about his ideas but will have the big medicine talk when we get there. We hope to arrive in New York the night of January 15th and expect to go to the Hotel Seville. Anyway, whenever we camp, we will call you up in the morning. We leave on the 3rd and will spend a week in Pittsburg. If you wish to communicate with us before we reach New York, c/o C.B.Mehard, Frick Bldg., Pittsburg, will find us. Charley joins me in wishing you all a Happy New Year. Sincerely, NCR-F
