Mr. Henry I. Dockweiler,

Los Angeles, California.
Dear Enrique:
I pen this note to you with the suggestion that we "take a poll".
However, if you feel that the voice of the people has been sufficiently definite perhaps we can forego this endeavor.
Winkie has had his tonsils removed and is rounding into shape beautifully. We hope that the removal of his tonsils and adnoids will in a general way improve his Dockweiler heritage of asthma.
The thought occured to me that we might get together and have a little week-end in Los Angeles to attend a good exposition of foot ball (not U.S.C. but some visiting team). What do you think about it?
Your old pal,
[Signature]
BARNACLE BILL.
