Jack Steel tells me that he cannot understand it, as he personally saw you on a list of individuals to whom notices were sent. It will not happen again - we will also call you in the future. Please know that Bar and I appreciate your steadfast, instrumental support.'' Composed on George Bush stationery with an embossed Great Seal at top. Measures 6.25'' x 8.5''. Near fine condition.
