Dear

a

1:

This is to thank you for your letter of June
20 suggesting that I plan to come to Philadelphia on
November 6 to meet with your board and to participate
in a buffet luncheon meeting with some of the downtown
bankers, to be followed by an address before the Robert
Morris Associates at a dinner that evening.
At t h i s w r i t i n g t h e r e a p p e a r s t o b e n o r e a s o n
why I w o u ld n o t b e a b l e t o b e p r e s e n t and I w o u ld a p p r e ­
c i a t e i t , t h e r e f o r e , i f y ou w ou ld g o a h ea d on t h a t b a s i s .

I realize that it is a long time since I have visited the
Bank and I want to do so.
This far ahead I have no idea what might be ap­
propriate to talk about, but judging by past experience
events will largely determine that before the time arrives.
with best regards,
Sincerely yours,

Mr.

A l f r e d K. »«illiams,
