Dear Henry: - Suppose you are busy now, getting things into shape. I am taking a little vacation. Expect to go to work in a week or so. As you are an expert camouflager by this time, being excelled alone by me, I suppose you work it to good advantage. Best goes Best Regards. Drop me a line. Your "Joffre"
