Lecture

(1968 August 1)

You made me feel like a peculiar person when you said you told MM I "like to be thanked." My goodness, it is only common decency to thank people who have sent you a gift or done you a favor. Whoever heard of NOT thanking? I admit it often is a tiresome duty. Recall how you struck off small letters saying "Thanks for the gift" on your Xmas Printing Press when you were small and writing a chore? Be sure to teach LR good manners and always to say thank you whether the giver be near at hand or at the end of the earth. (Lecture)
