杂项
Although the investment environment is difficult, the office environment is superb. With Donna, Gladys, Bill and John, we have an organization that functions speedily, efficiently and pleasantly. They are the best.
尽管投资环境是困难的，但办公室环境是极好的。和杜娜、格莱迪斯、别人和约翰一起，我们拥有一个运转敏捷、高效和开心的组织。他们是最棒的。
The office group, along with spouses (one apiece - I still haven't figured out how I should handle that pural) and children have over 27 million invested in BPL on January 1, 1969. Assorted sizes and shapes of aunts, uncles, parents, in-laws, brothers, sisters and cousins make the BPL membership list read like "Our Crowd" - which, so far as I am concerned, is exactly what it is.
办公室团队和他们的配偶们（每人就一个——我扔人不知道如何处理这个复数）和孩子们在1969年1月1日拥有超过2700万美金投资在巴菲特合伙基金。各式各样规模和类型的阿姨、叔叔、父母、亲家、兄弟、姐妹和表兄妹使巴菲特合伙基金成员名单读起来像“我们一伙的”——就目前我所知，确实是这样。
Within a few days, you will receive:
在接下来几天，你将会收到：
-
A tax letter giving you all BPL information needed for your 1968 federal income tax return. This letter is the only item that counts for tax purposes.
1.一封税务信给你所有需要用于1968年联邦个人所得税申报的巴菲特合伙基金信息。这封信是唯一一个用于税务用途的。 -
An audit from Peat Marwick. Mitchell & Co. (they have again done an excellent job) for 1968, setting forth the operations and financial position of BPL, as well as your own capital account.
2.一封来自于毕马威公司（他们再一次做了出色的工作）对1968年的审计报告，阐述巴菲特合伙基金的运作和财务情况，同样也包括你自己的资金账户。 -
A letter signed by me setting forth the status of your BPL interest on January 1, 1969. This is identical with the figures developed in the audit.
3.一封由我签署阐述在1969年1月1日你的巴菲特合伙基金股份状态的信。这封信和从审计报告中发展而来的数据是一致的。
Let me know if anything in this letter or that occurs during the year needs clarifying. My next letter will be about July 10th, summarizing the first half of this year.
让我知道在这封信中或者在这一年中发生的有任何事需要澄清。我的下封信将会大约在7月10日，总结上半年度。
Cordially,
Warren E. Buffett
