Dear Mr. Williams:
Thank you very, very much for the beautiful Christmas flowers.
I had a wonderful Christmas this year, and your present contributed to the things that made me happy. Some of the chrysanthemums, which were truly magnificent, are still alive and fresh. I think of you every time I look at them.
With my best wishes for a very successful New Year.
Cordially yours,
Ayn Rand
