Mr. F. D. Patterson,
China Grove, N.C.
My dear Mr. Patterson:
I thank you for your kind letter of the 2nd, and appreciate what you have to say. New rules and regulations are now being framed in Washington, and I trust that some means will be devised to relieve the situation discussed by you.
Assuring you of my profound interest in everything that pertains to the farmer, I beg to remain
Sincerely your friend,
