Dear Sir:

I have received in good time your letter of the 12th. of November 1930, also the photograph accompanying it which interest us strongly.

Not having been able to procure a stone found near a historica place, I am sending this day by parcel post a simple piece of stone from our city which, situated on the sea-coast offers very little geological variety.

I hope that it will reach you in good condition and that it will permit you to continue the work so interested-ly commenced by your children.

I take this opportunity to address to you the best wishes for the new year, that our club has for all the members of the Rotary Club of Greenville.

Begging you to excuse our lateness in answering your so interesting missive, receive, Dear Sir, the expression of my best Rotarian sentiments.

The Secretary of the Rotary Club of CASABLANCA.

BRINGING A WESTERN SEWING MACHINE TO THE HAREN : CASABLANCA

Casablanca, having more European residents than any other city in Morocco and being the first to receive Western innovations, is the one where the sewing machine more easily finds a place in a Moslem home. The men are the tailors here rather than the women. The woman carrying the machine is a servant.

There are first-, second-, and third-class accomodations on this line, and, as the natives love to ride, the third-class coaches are always crowded. This vender has discarded native dress for European clothes, except for the turban. He had been a soldier during the World War and asked the author about a number of French towns with which he has familar.
