 Greetings: While it cannot be my good fortune to be with you on this most memorable occasion it may be my privilege to add a minor note to the concord of this pleasurable evening.

 spect, can give me the profound per sonal qualification than I have derived from being a four minute man.
 Ut Is to be hoped that the spirit of American idealism that we have so busly spread abroad shall not perish but shall blossom and bear fine fruit even unto future generations of Ameri- cans
 "To your honorable state director, to your most efficient chairman of speak CTS, to the state and city secretaries and to every four-minute man and woman in this audience l send greetings and my most sincere wishes that good health and prosperity may attend all the years of your life.
