Dear Alex: 
It was nice to receive your letter, 
and I am delighted to hear about your possible 
trip to Darien. You certainly have the per¬ 
mission of the Flag Committee to retain flag 
No. 117 for your next expedition. 
I shall look forward to seeing you 
at the Annual Dinner. Here's wishing you 
the very best of wishes for the coming New Year.
