“We have been in communication

would be here for the celebration a
considerable delegation of Alaska of
ficials anti other representatives of the
territory. 111—
“We have already scheduled a large
number of cities on our calendar of
special days, and would bo very
pleased to include Cordova. Will

ing me at your earlles convenience
just what date would be most agree
able to you for that purpose, so that
it may be listed accordingly.
“In presenting this matter to you,
it is hoped that a delegation may vis

ded by you, or, if that is not possible,
by some other prominent man or men
from your great city. There are, no
doubt, in San Francisco and Califor
nia, many former residents of Cor
dova, who would be particularly in
terested in this event, and be present
to join you in the celebration.
"When a suitable date has been de
termined and listed for ‘Cordova
Day,’ we shall be glad to assist you
in arranging a program for the cere
monies, etc. This is a matter that
we would urge you to give your ear
liest attention.
"The president wishes me to assure
you that should you consider It In
advisable to conduct a celebration of
a special day In honor of your city by
settling a delegation to San Francisco,
on-'to date selected by you, he shall,
nevertheless, greatly appreciate your
