My dear Ethel:

I am ashamed of myself for not having written sooner to thank you for the beautiful necktie you sent me for Christmas; I surely ought to acknowledge it before it's worn out, for I have worn it a good deal and like it very much.

I note what you say in your more recent letter about Charlie. I have nothing more to say to him than I have said to you, which I assume you have communicated to him. I hope he is doing well, wherever he is and whatever he is doing, and whenever it is consistent to let himme know anything more definite about those matters thatwithout imperiling his future, I shall be humbly greatfulgrateful for the information.

Glad to know that you and Ed are well. I don't know whether or not I wrote you about it, but I read with interest his very readable article of some weeks ago in one of the numbers of The Crisis, on Howard University. Give him my regards and believe me as always

Your affectionate father,
