humnerville, several times,	ha-	said,	he v..rs ready to do his
part on the facade, but I	have	net	felt	like suggesting this to
you whiie t if. wh av; is an unsolved job.
in .-airnes3 to everybody, photographer’s, engravers, printers, everyone Z have contacted with, are in such a statu financially they cannot come thru normally.	The;- ere badgered by lack cf
funds; thcyx o vdth.out competent help;- they are without stock and have to go o t and pay in advance to get such material. J\tc.
1. at of my costs have been cash paid in advance to buy stock that ran to more than merely my need for test work, borne that might have solved the problem had to make high estimates, and demand n large payment in advance, or they could not go through. In a word, this old world is close to a commercial breakdown; you don’t realize unless you get these intimate contacts.
Hastily,
