Farewell dinner at Luchow's - April 7 - [[image: Appears to be writing paper from the restaurant attached to page. All print is enclosed with three lines, the outer lines are a thin red and the inner a thicker dark blue/black. Near the top 'Luchow's famous Restaurant' with the 'L' and first 'R' in restaurant a stylized red. Above the word restaurant also in red and underlined 'Established 1882'. Printed bottom left: New York World's Fair 1939 with two small black trees in lower left corner. At the bottom nearer the center of the page is a copyright icon and letters 'NYWF' At center bottom is a building that probably depicts the front of the restaurant which has a small tree to the right of this image. To the left of the restaurant image is a tall three sided object of which only two sides are visible, the side to the left is blacked to shadow. There is a small tree at its left base. The object is obelisk shaped and goes from the bottom of the letterhead to 'h' in 'Luchow's printed near the top of the paper. Behind the obelisk are three white rays fanned out also rising from the bottom of the page ending underneath the name of the restaurant at the top of the page. These are pointed near the bottom of the page and become wider as they near the letters. Each are outlined with red dots, more concentrated at the edge of the rays and less as these are printed across 2/3 of the page. The image of the restaurant at the bottom of the page has a large round ball sitting on a black/white striped platform in front. It is dark on the outside with black dots coming towards the center to represent shadowing. On the bottom right of image: 110-112 East 14th Street New York City [[red]] License Number R.L. 1 [[/red]] ^ [[In pencil an ape like face has been drawn inside the large ball sitting in front of the restaurant image. Marks around the top and sides of the ball appear to represent hair. The image seems to have a moustache. To the left of the face is an arm whose hand is encircling the obelisk on the page. The arm is drawn to represent a hairy arm. There is also a hairy arm with hand drawn to the right of the face holding a square object, probably paper. At the bottom of this object is a signature in ink, Sue [[?]]. Beneath the hand, also in ink, another signature with ditto marks, "[?]Wor[?]. At the top of the obelisk and through the center of the paper is a pencil drawing of a flag treating the obelisk as a staff. A small ball at the top of the obelisk with two flowing tassels to the right has been penciled. Inside the flag is a penciled drawing of an ark. There is the head of a giraffe and an elephant with trunk up on the deck facing to the left. The ark has five windows on the top compartment and six portholes on the bottom compartment. There are lines underneath the ark to represent water and a wooden sign in the water pointing to the right with 'U.S.A.' penciled on the sign. There is a drawing of a man in a suit sitting on the roof of the ark. He has a dialog bubble with 'Lucy didn't we Just Leave That Place' penciled inside the bubble. The man is holding a square container in his right hand which is to the left of the paper, with something that may be flowers depicted in the top. On the deck to the right is a drawing of a woman with curly short hair turned to face the man on the roof. She has a dialog bubble to her right 'I Dont Remember'. Behind her is a line attached to a staff that has clothes hanging to dry. She appears to be pushing a man off of the ark head first. In ink written above his head 'Charlie De Barry'. Underneath the flag is a signature in ink. C H[[?]]. To the right of the flag two ink signatures written perpendicular to the flag, [[underlined]] Chas. R. Knight. [[/underlined]] E. L.
