Dear Jerry,
I am writing you a note of appreciation for the nice treatment we were accorded by you on our recent visit to Gettysburg. We feel like it was “old home week” when we got there with you and Mr. Harrison.
You were as nice to us that we’ll never forget it. I’m just sorry we didn’t have more time to spend with you and I look forward to being with you again.
Our trip on to see the sculptor Donald De Lue was successful. We went on to Leonardo, New Jersey the day after we met with you. The monument is very good.
We learned from Mr. De Lue that the time for dedication should be set tentatively in Oct. 1972 rather than in the summer of 1972. Mr. De Lue states that he will need that much time in order to finish his work.
I was very much impressed with the site on which the Mississippi monument will be erected. I will await the progress you can make on adjoining properties.
I am impressed with your good idea of getting Amish families into the Gettysburg National Park farmland I think it is a stroke of genius.
Give my best to your staff and thanks again for a great visit.
Yours truly,
Ney
