AIR MAIL Mr. Henry W. Haynes Vinoy Park Hotel St. Petersburg, Florida Dear Mr. Haynes: I have your letter of March 4th. I am very glad to know that your operation was successful and that you are feeling in good shape again. I, too, wish, as your letter suggests, that we could make our stay both July and August, but I am sorry I can't do it. If I could consistently justify two months absence, I think I would still prefer, with all due respect to you and Mrs. Haynes and our friends at Placid, to put in the month of July in Hawaii. Mrs. Kempner has been needling me to go there for the past two years. She joins me in cordial regards to you and Mrs. Haynes and assure you we look forward to seeing you again. Sincerely yours,
