Dear Bill:

Chico and I received the very nice Clock-Radio through the good offices of Wilbur, who arrived here last Monday. 

We collectively and separately thank you for this very nice gift, BUT the darn clock won't work because we are on 50 cycle current. As you know, a clock will gain some twenty-five minutes per hour if it is made for 60 cycle and you plug it on 50 cycle. At your convenience, please advise if you can obtain 50 cycle clocks and we will of course return the ones presently installed. 

Thanking you again and with warmest personal greetings, I remain, 

Sincerely,

E. R. Silliman.
