309 W. CouHT Street, 

 U. S. A. 



Know that ray business will permit me to spend on it in 

 fut^l^o the time that I have in the past . 



Like yourself, I feel that I am getting old and 

 (Minnot looK forward to so ir.any years of active work. Wo 

 raeot in competition and usiially bf>Bt most of our competitors 

 in the biisinoss but there is one old fellow that always 

 gets the best of us, Old Father Time and he shows no favor*. 



I have not visited Boston for a number of years 

 but it is probable that I will get out there during next 

 summer and if so, I will not forget to visit you. 



In the meantime, with best regards and the season's 

 greetings, I remain, . 



Your fridnd, 



C. G. Lloyd.
