W. W. Whitney, Esq.,
Hotel del Coronado,
Dear Sir:-
Miss Thomson, cashier, tells me you have declined to pay for an extra lunch, on the grounds that you were not here for several luncheons, and that one should offset the other.
I have said to her to cancel the present charge, but in the future we cannot do this. I take this means of advising you that we must ask, if you have anyone to luncheon, that you pay the bill. It would establish a precedent were we to do otherwise which we could not afford under any consideration, and I hope you will not ask it of us.
Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock
Manager.
