January 20, 1920
My dear Mr. Forgan:
"Having yours of January 28 and enclose herewith my check for $500.00 drawn to the order of Mr. Alexander Robertson. As you no doubt know, I am very fond of the Scotch, Scotch Songs and the Scotch Old Peoples Home. I would rather make this donation than the previous one mentioned by you to me."
Sincerely yours,
Wm. Wrigley Jr., President
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company
5 N. Wabash Avenue
(The use of the word "Scotch" in referring to people was very common in the 1920s. This is an exact quote from Mr. Wrigley's letter.)
