Pasadena, California.
February 14, 1933.
Mr. John B. Ritch,
Lewistown,
Montana.
Dear Mr. Ritch:
Of course you are not beaten and, if by chance
the plan does not go through this winter as you
hope it will, you are still not beaten because
you are going to win. You started it, it is
right and you are bound to succeed.
You don’t know how sorry I am to know so many of
our friends have been hit so hard that they have
responded to you in the way they have but I be-
lieve there is a way to make up the amount you
are going to need and if your argument on the
eleventh carried as you had planned, the whole
thing is moving along O. K. right now. If it
didn’t go just as you wanted it to, you did your
best and for the time being, it will have to rest
but you are going to steer the ship through to
success just as sure as anything. I wish it were
within my power to help you more. If you see any
way I can be of assistance, please let me do so.
I am hoping to hear that Mr. Lewis is up again.
He has been a very sick man. No one knows better
than you how hard it is to be tied in the house
with illness.
My very best regards.
Sincerely,
P.S. Will be in town tomorrow and will find out
if there is a window where I can exhibit “Pieces
of Eight”. If so will let you know all about it
later.
