Washington, D. C.
My dear President:
First of all I desire to congratulate you upon your
re-election as President of these great United States.
I have been one of your most loyal supporters ever since
you first ran for the Presidency, and I assure you of my
continued support so long as you remain in public life.
I am a naturalized citizen of the United States of
America, having received my naturalization papers in
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, on October 8, 1880.
I am taking the liberty of sending you a goose for
your enjoyment during the Christmas season, and trust
that my action in so doing meets with your approval.
The bird was raised by myself and fed and nourished
according to the old time custom in Czechoslovakia. It
weighs seventeen pounds, and the nourishment given it
has been nothing but the best.
I sincerely hope this little token of appreciation
will add a little to your enjoyment of the holiday
season, and I wish for you many years of continued
health and prosperity.
Most respectfully yours,
for that misk think for
