196 (X) March 23/97 Mr. Edward E. Patch, M'gr, Hotel Manhattan, New York. Dear Sir: Absence from home has prevented earlier reply to your courteous letter of the 6th inst. I beg now to acknowledge same and also the receipt of the very interesting book of your hotel. I have been patronizing the Waldorf of late, but should I make a change, I should be very glad indeed to at least give your hotel a trial. Yours truly, Charles L. Freer
