Dear Ernest,
Congratulations on your achievement in establishing our Clan Society in North America. I know the enormous effort you put into this endeavour and I look forward to seeing you and our extended family frequently in the future. As you know I have spent much of my career in North America and have always enjoyed the vibrancy of the Scots-American communities. I am sure that our North American Society will inject new vigour into the Clan's affairs here and throughout the world.
Please extend my best wishes to all members of the Clan Society.
