My dear Hattie: Pardon the typewritten letter. At Lee's suggestion we are compiling a sort of history of the Kempner family in business over the fifty years since our Father's death. I would like for you to send at once, if you will, a statement or memorand.n of your present or past activities in such civic, charitable or patriotic work as has engaged your time and attention since you lived in San Antonio. W7e are, at the moment, simply assembling the facts with a view of having an article written to appear in the Texas Bankers Journal, April edition, the editor of which will un- doubtedly use his judgment as to what he may consider of in- terest to his readers. ,e then hope to have the article re- produced in one or two of the Txers newspapers. Will you hurry this memorandum as much as possible as we would like to get this data into Dallas by the lbith or at the latest by the 18th. With love to you and yours,
