Description

Letter from Kozuio Sugimoto to Paul Ecke Jr. thanking him for the poinsettias, and keeping him updated of happenings in Montana.
Dear Mr. Ecke,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the very lovely poinsettias. It was very nice of you to think of us even during your busiest season.
The ? in Montana we are still busy as ever despite the terrific windstorms. At the present we are sending out oil olives and yams.
In closing, I want to say "thanks" again.
Sincerely yours,
Kozuio Sugimoto
