- Editor's Notes
- Returned North [Danbury, CT] May 1, and now that the time has come to prepare for dental school, is dreading it and would prefer a career in business. Asking if TAE has an open position, promises he would take it seriously and make it his life business, "as you know, I am passionately fond of machinery." Was with TAE at "Magnolia" [House in St. Augustine [FLORIDA], presumably]. "My regards to Mr. Gilliland. Just before we left I shot a 'gator 12 ft 3/4 in long." TAE[?] Marg: "Friend Smith ##Don't touch this business. Not one man in 1000 ever succeeds in it. When you come to NY call at Lab--wk{?} nights etc etc."
