Transcript

March 31 1925 Mr. Malcolm S. MacKay, Tenafly, New Jersey. Dear Folks: Chas. thanks you for the check and we are glad if you like the sketches. Charlie was afraid he had not gotten your ideas. Charlie is surely happy to be back in his studio and at work. I am going to Los Angeles next week as Charlie simple refuses—he will not go so I shall try it alone. We surely do want to come down to your ranch and we want you to see our lake. I think we had almost an iron-clad promise for a visit this summer. Chas. would enjoy Malcolm so much. He gets lonely for a man who talks the same language. Chas. joins me in love to you all. Sincerely,
