Rough draft of letter, in note-book January, 1907? Dear Mr. Har riman :Just a heart word of greeting at the beginning
of the year. This so-called financial political storm, like every other, will pass away, leaving all that's good clearer and
better. You have done a giant's work in the past years, among a thousand other things less easily seen, making the country's
ways straighter, smoother, stronger, safer, bettering and befriending most everybody. That in this enduring world's work
you may take right good comfort, and that the good Lord of all will continue to bless you and Mrs. H arriman and your fine,hopeful,fast-growing
grove of manly womenly boys and girls, is the prayer of your friend, J.M. 03808
