[[right margin]] Answered 8/5/35 [[/right margin]]

Dear Mr. Peck,

The Committee on Membership has considered your letter of resignation with greatest regret. In the conscientious exercise of its duty to the Chamber, the Committee appeals to you in the hope of persuading you to reconsider and withdraw your resignation. 

To maintain its historic standard of usefulness to the business community in France, a substantial Membership is absolutely essential, and for that reason a special appeal is made to you at this time to continue your support in the interests and purposes of the Chamber.

Now that there is some encouragement of better times reappearing, the Chamber must exert itself with greater energy than ever before to stimulate whatever commercial advantages may materialize in the near future. The Chamber wants to serve you, and needs your mental, moral, and financial help - wont you reconsider your resignation at this time?

Your favorable response will bring pleasure both to your numerous friends and to the Chamber as a whole.
 
Sincerely,
F.H. Hotchkiss
Chairman
Membership Committee

P.S. As a suggestion, perhaps you would desire to change the classification of your membership to that of Associate, - the dues for this are Frs 500 annually.
