Dear Sir,

I sent your letter of the 2nd inst, to the French Commercial Attache, in San Francisco, and received his reply two days ago.

He suggests that you send a CARE seed parcel prospectus of which I enclose herewith. I have used the CARE food parcels for the past two years and they always reach their destination.

As the State of Kansas is in the jurisdiction of the French Consulate General of Chicago, you should address any further inquiries to Mr. Jacques Rimey, French Commercial Attache, 307 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago 2. You will receive prompt attention. The adoption by your town of the French village of Feves is a very generous and kindly act and is much appreciated by the French authorities and French people.

Sincerely yours,
