Any reservations or withdrawals heretofore made which affect the lands described above are hereby revoked.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.
