Dear Mr, Van Teslaar i 
I have had your letter of June 10 on desk rather 
unduly long, but this is franidy my first chance to respond 
to it, and I find that you are due back in lew fork just 
about the time this reaches there. 
I have icritten Hiss Lanzisera, as you will see from 
the enclosed carbon, and X hope that she soon may be able 
to c<Mae to Washington, where you can rest assured I will 
(to all that I cm for her. C^ae dom} youz^elf some day. 
We can at least have lunch together and talk over old 
times as it were. 
I certainly enjoyed vsr trip on the Runner, and I 
would like to do it again with my family. Haybe if I can 
stop colleerting for the HuseraB long ajough, I will do that 
very thing. 
Best ever to you. 
Sincerely,
