 "lt gives me pleasure to acknowf- edge for the executive committee the very courteous invitation, through you, of the Fort smith bar to the Arkansas State Bar Association to hold its session in May at your city. We gladly accept your invitation. and assure you Of our anticipation of pleasure at the meeting"
