H. Ke mpner P. 0. Box 119 Galveston, Texas PERSONAL Dear Mr. Kempner, NTonie has been kind enough to let me read her copy of your book, Recalled Recollections. I enjoyed the book so much thst I wanted to tell you so. It strikes me that one of the great tragedies of this life is that people tend to save their praise or those they admire until the time for eulogies comes. My grandmother used to say to me "if you want to give me any flowers, give them to me now, don't bother about it after I've gone." I think she had a valid point. It really means something to me to know you---a person who has seen much history being made and made a great deal of history himself. I want you to know that I have acquired considerable admiration and respect for you in the _ew years I have been privileged to know you. I hope you are justly proud of having set down some very fine thoughts for the benefit of future generations of your family as well as young men Sincerely yours, VICTOR J. LANG, JR.
