[handwritten] My dear Bezeau : [end handwritten]
The carton of russet pears which you have so kindly sent to me has been duly received at Laurier House. I thank you most heartily for this gift so welcome at this particular season of the year, but even more welcome as an expression of your never failing friendship. The pears are most delicious.
I have carefully noted what you say about the movement to organize for taking care of post war conditions. I wish I could be sure that the right moment for such a movement had come. Post war conditions have, of course, to be kept continuously in mind but who can say what these conditions are likely to be at the close of the present war. You may be sure that my colleagues and I will not fail to watch closely the forces that may be behind any such movement. Properly directed, nothing could be better; in the wrong hands, nothing could be worse.
[handwritten] With kindest remembrances, warmest thanks and all good wishes, Believe me always sincerely yours, [end handwritten]
