Akron, Ohio
Dear Mrs. Seiberling:
On behalf of The Akron Clearing House Association, I desire to thank you for the many kindnesses shown the visiting ladies at the recent Ohio Bankers Convention.
I particularly desire to thank you for acting as hostess at your home on Tuesday afternoon. Many of the ladies spoke of your beautiful grounds and of the great enjoyment they received viewing your spacious gardens. They were also very pleased with the tea you served for them on that afternoon.
It was also very kind of you and Mr. Seiberling to attend the banquet Wednesday evening and be seated at the speakers table.
Again thanking you, I am
Cordially yours,
[Illegible]
President of The Akron Clearing
G.W.Merz House Association.
