To: Mr. William Steven Dean 187 Hamilton Ave. Muskegon, Mich Dated August 27, 1948 Dear Sir, As the commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization of the United States of America, I cordially welcome you upon your arrival. Persons who some to make their homes in this country usually wish to become citizens when they have been here long enough. An applicant for citizenship (among other requirements) must be able to speak English, to sign the petition for naturalization, and to show understanding of principles of the Constitution and Government of the United States. The public schools in many communities and towns have classes for applicants to learn about these subjects. They will be glad to help you. This institution will make it easier when appearing before the naturalization examiner. I extend my best wishes for your success in your new county. Sincerely, Watson B.
