With good wishes and admiration - Cecil. 5/17/77". Book contains note from Laura Houghton "I read the chapter about Peking while we were staying with the Hoffmans in Paris - I thought your Anne might get a kick out of it. So I wrote Cecil & asked him to send me a copy for you. Love. Laura. As you probably know the --? was in the paper yesterday. What think you? Sounds good to me - after all it's his old home town!" laid in.
