The jovial and genial Randle Gilbert, so recently elected President of our Dallas Bank, will see you about the time this letter arrives. We have asked him, as a favor to the general officers of our Association, as well as your many friends in Texas, to tell you in person just how pleased we will be to have you with us. Most cordially, S e c r e t a r/y WAP:L / '
