CIVITATIS REGIMINE DONATA AD 1822. MAURICE J. TOBIN Mayor April 15, 1941 Miss Alice Stone Blackwell 1010 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts Dear Miss Blackwell: I am in receipt of your note of recent date in which you mentioned that you are sending me your book "Some Spanish-American Poets." I am sorry to say that as of this writing, I have not yet received this book which I look forward to with interest. You and I are united in the belief that the study of Spanish should be stressed in this country in order to solidify the relations between South American countries and this country in these difficult times, and in particular the more trying years to come when we will need the friendship of our South American neighbors. Sincerely yours Maurice J. Tobin Mayor MJT:MS CITY OF BOSTON SICUT PATRIBUS, SIT DEUS NOBLIS OFFICE OF THE MAYOR BOSTONIA CITY HALL CONDITA.AD 1630. CIVITATIS REGIMINE DONATA AD 1822. MAURICE J.
