Transcription

February 15, 1913.

My dear Mr. Blankenburg:

Herewith I enclose a copy of a telegram which I have just sent to Mr. Kates.

I think that there is no greater work to which the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture could devote its influence than that of the establishment in the United States of efficient systems of agricultural credit and I am exceedingly sorry that duties here make it unfortunately out of the question for me to attempt myself to address the Society at the forthcoming meeting.

Thanking you for your courtesy in joining in the invitation which the Society has extended me, I remain, my dear Mr. Blankenburg,

Yours very faithfully,

[signature]

The Honorable Rudolph Blankenburg,
Mayor of Philadelphia,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
