Dear Kenneth:
We are only too glad to comply with the request of your recent letter, and appreciate your thinking of us.
We didn't quite realize we were throwing so much trade toward the medical profession, but we do know that we try to make people happy with our comedies.
Yours for faster and funnier comedies we remain,
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Miss [Marion] Neal-
Please pardon delay in my reply to yours of Oct. 9th. But have been awfully busy making the foreign versions of our first full length picture. The title has been changed from "The Rap" to "THEIR FIRST MISTAKE." Hope you will like it when you see it. We are making it in five languages - English - Spanish - French - German & Italian & are speaking them all. We have instructors to teach us our lines in each language - so you can imagine it's pretty hard work for us. We have a new cast for each version. Glad you liked the "Rogue Song." We didn't feel too good about it because the Picture was already made before we went into it & we had to try & connect ourselves with the picture & we didn't belong in the Story - there was no situation for us,& it is awfully hard to try and be funny under those circumstances, however, we consider ourselves very lucky that it went over as good as it did. Oliver sings a song in our big picture. I think you will like it. It's an old-fashioned number called "Lazy Moon." Well, will close now with many thanks for your very interesting letter. Lots of good wishes and the Seasons Greetings.
It's nearly time isn't it?
Sincerely,
