CALIFORNIA AND HAWAIIAN SUGAR REFINING CORPORATION, LTD. 215 MARKET STREET SAN FRANCISCO 5 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT November 30, 1953 Dear Mr. Kempner: It was a great pleasure being with you last week, and Mrs. Maclean and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening at your home. You could not have been more thoughtful in giving us the opportunity to meet Herbert's family. We do hope from time to time we will have the pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Kempner and others of your family in San Francisco. I appreciated the opportunity of a good visit with Bill Louviere and the chance to see your very efficient refinery operation. I will forevermore be puzzled as to how we let him get away from us. However, there is comfort in the knowledge that he is now with you. If there is at any time anything we may do for you out here or in Hawaii, I hope you will not hesitate to write me. Again many thanks, and kind personal regards. Sincerely yours, Donald Maclean Mr. I. H. Kempner Imperial Sugar Company Galveston, Texas
