Dear Buyer :

Your first letter and the checks to the amount of $25.00 did overtake me. I have deposited the money until we decide just exactly what to do with it. I have done so by this letter that Sir John had promised Robert this sum and 2 suppose R. can pay it to my handling it at all. However he did not know much about business.

Your comment re Mr. Buda's II's in middle western newspapers interests me. Visually everything of that kind reaches one or more of us. If we don't ourselves see it, someone who knows us sends us the clippings but none of us apparently have seen this.

From what I know of people of all nationalities who write for the newspapers now, I suspect that what they write and say is their own reaction to Roberts history rather than anything inscribed by R. Immself. But it is a good hair and he never long conceals his emotional & economic situation. He certainly didn't like the stuff his own friends write and gave to the N.Y. papers when he was married. Most people surrounding R. make their living by selling accounts of personalities and all of them I think are more mercenary than he is.

Robert in 1923 was unusually fair for one in his embarrassing position and he was quite unmoved by people surrounding him who tried to influence him to be otherwise. Then, again, when he was here two years ago, neither to Mr. Lee, Mr. Grace & Ann in Los Angeles, nor to the two families here did he exhibit any smallness or meanness toward you or your family. A Howard Dyckman of Minneapolis was with him drunk and sober for twelve consecutive hours in Paris last evening. To him Robert spoke if you will dignify & respect.

YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE SOUTHWEST—WHY NOT PATRONIZE ITS INDUSTRIES
