San Antonio, Texas, March 4th, 1932
Dear Mr. Ayres:-
has laboring under the delusion I had acknowledged the check for v'100. If have not please accept this as such. A so acknowledge check for 050.
The figures you asked for on your income tax are enclosed. I checked these over cere fully several times.
Check to Art Advertising Co for 047,50 is for the letterheads.
You say I do not keep you in touch with things here in the office..1 admit I was in error severed tines in not acknowledging checks you had sent in, but this was done—or rather not done--unintentionally. As to the bulletins, we thought every day we would surely have them to send you. As to the news of the office there is none. Mr. Colp, as you know, is taking care of the office and everything is running along smoothly as can be, and when Mr.
Colp writes he tells you everything of any importance whatever, so I really don't see, Mr. Ayres, what you expect me to write you. You also seem to think I am wasting my time or something like that. You are very unjust, Mr. Ayres, you don't seem to take in to consideration the fact that l have dication just the same as if you were here, and all the routine work of the office goes on just the same. Have had even more work to do on account of this Houston business. If you will tell me vdiat it is you want me to write and tell you about, I will be only too glad to comply.
The list of eastern names and newspapers is not quite ready, will try t o come down tomorrow awhile and work on them. Or rather will do it if am not sick in bed. Have bronchitis and haven't any business coming down to work at all; liable to be doing my usual stunt, namely, getting pneumonia, but there is too much work to be done so will stick it cut—as usual.
Sincerely,
