I have adequately expressed the thanks of all the brothers. With warm regard, As ever 1 Edgar had written on June 23 that he was pleased with the fence constructed around the gravesite of their parents (for background see nos. 898 and 911). He did not know, however, how to get in touch with former U.S. Senator Darby, who had paid for the project. 2 On the President's attempt to reimburse Darby see no. 1159; see also no. 899.
