William Fisher Byron to Wilbur Kelsey Thomas, December 13, 1919

December 13th, 1919

My dear Mr. Thomas:

I am enclosing a check for five dollars from

And one for a similar amount from the All Soul's Sunday School sent by

Both are for the German children.

I had a very pleasant surprise yesterday when Mr. and Mrs. Smedley of Philadelphia and Josh Bailey's brother came to the House. We found that we had many mutual acquaintances and I am sure it was very pleasant for me to be with REAL Friends. The hyms and sermons of the Middle West do not appeal to me at all.

Sincerely yours,

William F. Byron [signed]
