That our genial host was greatly pleased with the gift is evidenced by his very courteous letter in reply, which is as follows:
October 19, 1909.
Messrs. Michael F. Dooley, Thomas Zanslaur Lee, John McManus, and Patrick Carter, Local Members of the Executive Council of the American Irish Historical Society:—
Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your cordial letter of October fourteenth and the splendid punch bowl for Macedonia. I heartily thank you for them both, and you may be sure that the home of the bowl will be Macedonia.
It certainly brings to my mind one of the pleasantest days of my life, and I truly hope that Father Time will deal gently with us so that at no distant date we will all meet again at Macedonia, and with good fellowship drink from the bowl to good luck and prosperity for all.
Thanking you for the kind remembrance, I remain,
