"Thar by G[od] - I like to see some dust kicked up. Things begin to happen. That Board ought to be a good one - as for the handles they can be easily lengthened. Have B. go right at a pair because the tricks must go post-haste to Washington. Old McK wobbles - he is a broken reed - but he and his d[amn] business interests have a Spanish war - of two months or socialistic democracy forever as a choice. The dollar darkens the vision of men. Goodbye - fly around - it's what you are for."
