C.\nDear Mr. President:\nFor many years it has been the custom of the Ojai Bakery\nto send to the President of the United States a specially\ndecorated fruit cake for the Christmas season. Always in\nthe past this presentation has been made in the name of\nsome organization, the county, the state, or some smaller\ngroup of admirers. This year, however, we wish to present\nour cake as a personal gift from Mr. \"Bill\" Baker, Master\nbaker whose handiwork it is.\nMr. Baker has this year taken special care that the cake\nmight be particularly delicious and that the decorations\nshould be even more attractive than in the past in order\nthat this confection may in some slight degree at least\nconvey to you his great admiration and regard for both you\nand your efforts for the American people.\nWe hope, Mr. President, that you will enjoy this cake as\nmuch as we enjoy presenting it and as much as Mr. Baker\nhas enjoyed preparing it.\nYours very truly.\nThe Ojai Bakery\nW.
