Just wanted to let you know that I got your name off an envelope from July 1939. Your store looks wonderful and very cozy. I live in McDonough,Georgia and at 71 I will probably not get to visit. But what a store!
Many thanks for your prompt reply informing me that the book is now set aside for the library. It's great that you are willing and able to send an invoice with the book -- it makes life a little easier when you work for a very large institution! Thanks again.
