Dear Margie:-
I've just been to Chicago. Had a grand press conference and a reception out of this world by the Eagles. That outfit gave me $500000 for the Library Educational Fund.
Lt. Egan told me and so did the Mayor of Chicago, Mr. Daley that your show was sold out for three weeks and the scalpers are bootlegging tickets to it. Suppose your ma & me will be able to get in if we come? How about sitting in the wings?
Tell Clif I just had a note from his dad enclosing me an old fashioned purse if the retirement bill passes! It is one of the kind our grandfathers carried. Wish we could see you both and the "staggering" young man.
Take care of yourself and Clif and Clif Jr. Lot of love to all of you.
Dad & Granddad & Grandpa.
