Dear Dr. Mann: 
I was delighted to receive, with your compli¬ 
ments and your friendly autograph, the copy of your 
new and delightful book, "Ant Hill Odyssey," which 
Mrs. Grosvenor and I have read with the greatest 
pleasure. We sent at least ten copies to friends 
for Christinas. 
Congratulations on this splendidly told story 
of your wonderfully full and interesting life. 
Mrs. Grosvenor joins me in kindest regards to 
you and Mrs. Mann. We are leaving tonight for a 
few weeks in Florida. 
Dr. 
William M.
