Dear Dr. Schmitt, 
While visiting our daughter and her family over 
Christmas we were indeed glad that we had the good 
fortune of seeing you and Professor Baker again, and 
of having the added pleasure of meeting your charming 
wife , 
We certainly had no intention of the whole tribe 
descending on you for a feed but everything was Tinder 
control so quickly and perfectly that being with you 
was a most enjoyable occasion which we shall not for- 
get, 
I am^ sending you, by parcel post, some Tuscarawas 
County Swiss cheese, which we think is very good; also, 
a maple cutting board and a hand-made paring knife. 
The knife is made by Mr. Ernest Warther of our city, 
the world’s finest carver of miniature engines which 
are made to scale out of walnut, ebony, and ivory, and 
actually run. 
Thank you again for your kindness end our best 
wishes to you and Mrs. Schmitt and Professor Baker. 
Sincerely yours. 
P. S. As I do not have Professor Baker’s address, I 
would appreciate your handing him the package 
which I am sending in your care. Thank you. 
JHM
