Dear Mrs. Walters:
Thank you for your recent message to Senator Baker. He
appreciates your support and confidence as well as your
suggestions.
Senator Baker has indeed been invited to your Lincoln
Day banquet in 1988. Regrettably, this event is too far
in the future for him to consider at this point. As
next year's Lincoln Day celebration approaches, a
decision will be made on whether he might attend.
Again, thank you for your kind words for the Chief of
Staff. He sends you and all his fellow Washington
County Republicans his warm best wishes.
Sincerely,
Sue Walkup
