75 North Forge Street,

June 10, 1932.
Mrs. F.A. Seiberling,
North Portage Path,
Akron, Ohio.
My dear Mrs. Seiberling:
Our guests have gone their way, and in all our minds will always linger a warm memory of the graciousness with which you interrupted your painting last Saturday to make us feel welcome to visit your gardens. Though, as a member of College Club, I had enjoyed the beautiful grounds two or three times before, I delighted in them again; and the others received from them more pleasure and inspiration than you can guess.
All of us send you thoughts of happiness and blessing and thank you again for your kindness.
Sincerely,
Ruth ArmstrongTranscriber
