<br />arranged last week Mrs. Marlow handed over the ~ift received from the women of Portsmouth to the women of
<br />Dunedin.
<br />
<br /> This was a very happy function and as always with visitors returning from Portsmouth, Mrs. Marlow
<br />brought back glowing reoorts of the wonderful hospitality extended to her. r thought you would be interested
<br />in having a photograph of the function and copy is enclosed. Mr. Dave Forsyth is also sending another copy
<br />to Ben Haddon, Chairman of your Sister City Committee.
<br />
<br /> It seems a remarkable coincidence that the turn of events in recent months has brought to the Mayoral
<br />office of your Sister Cities men with the same surname, and although I do not know whether this has any
<br />significance, perh~ps it could be regarded as yet eno%her example of the spirit of close affiliation which
<br />exists between our Sister Cities. I expect the next three years to be a busy time for me,, but I am no
<br />stranger to public life and I am looking forward to a fruitful time of service in the interests of the city.
<br />I do extend to you very sincere good wishes for a successful term of office for yoursel~ and who knows,
<br />perhaps some day it may be possible for us to meet personally either in Portsmouth or in Dun~din."
