Dear Julian:

Please accept my warmest congratulations on your recent victory.

I am looking forward to another productive session of the General Assembly, and I know we will have the same rapport and cooperation between the two Houses as we enjoyed this past year.

If, at any time, I can be of service to you, I hope you will call on me.

With best wishes for continued success, and with kindest regards, I am

Sincerely, [signed] Geo. T. Smith George T. Smith
