Dear Jack -

 I am grateful for your Christmas greeting, your kind words and gaelic amulets

to which I may ? add the wish that you will be 48 hours in the Pearly Gates before the divil [sic] even knows you're dead. I enjoyed our association on the book best and you can still count me a reader of your antiques. Best to you and yours for good things in 1962. Sincerely Jack printed Jack McPhaul
