Capt. Cornelius Gardener,
Fort Wayne, Detroit.

My dear Capt. Gardener:

I was too ill last night to go down to the Club as I had intended, so I beg to inclose herewith menu card and wine list for the Witenagemote dinner.  I suggest that yourself and Dr. Devendorf arrange with Mr. Byer of the Hotel Ste. Claire for the wines.  How would it be to have first a good strong cocktail, then California Sauterne and California Claret, also whiskey and lithia for those who desire it.  Should not a keg of beer also be on tap?

I am called to New York to-night but hope to return the latter part of next week.
 
Yours faithfully,
Charles L. Freer
