My dear Sir:
Appreciating your letter of March 22, so kindly acknowledging my letter of congratulations, and also acknowledging the address on “Richard Dobbs Spaight,” which you state would interest your three sons, who have more than a passing interest in early history, I presume they are also interested in stamps, as are most young people, and I am enclosing you a few stamps local to the State.
A college fraternity mate in Paris, to whom I sent some stamps, recently wrote asking for some “doubles” and wrote an enthusiastic letter about the lot received, especially the “blocks of four.”
If your sons should not be interested in stamps, possibly they have some friends, of the older generation, who might wish to make selections from these “run-of-the-mine” stamps.
Really I expect President Roosevelt has not the block of four one-half cent “Raleigh, N. C.” postage due.
If you should wish additional specimens of any of these, or if there is any other matter that I can aid you here in Raleigh, kindly command me.
Faithfully yours
Alexander B Andrews
