When you are in the office again, I wish/you woul call up No. 9 Tarrytown, and ask for Mr. Yordi,/or Mrs. Evans or Mr. Davis, so we may have a chance to get/a word with you./I wish you could come sometime and take lunch with/me, or a breakfast. Indeed, I shall be glad to have you/drop in any time you are in our neighborhood at meal time,/so that we may have a little interchange of thought. I value/your ideas./With the kindest regards and every best wish,/Sincerely yours,/John D. Rockefeller"; creasing from contemporary folds; with original mailing envelope.
