Mr. Munson Havens, Secretary Chamber of Commerce, Terminal Tower, City.
My dear Munson:

I got so hard hit financialy last year that I find my Chamber of Commerce dues burdensome. I have enjoyed my membership, though it has been rather inactive, a large part of my pleasure being due to the contacts it gave me with you. If you will permit me to resign, my membership to lapse as of Febraury 1, 1931, I shall appreciate it. You will remember I spoke to you about this in January last.

With thanks for your many courtesies and kindnesses and the hope that you may long continue to guide the course of this very valuable public enterprise, I remain,

Sincerely yours, CWC:MK
