Erie, Pa.,
Friday, Feb. 24, 1939
Caught the 7:39 AM for Buffalo and spent a very interesting day there. Townend and I and Lockwood visited the Republic Steel in the morning and managed to get them interested in our job to the extent they are coming to Erie Tuesday to see the 50 ton Bethlehem Steel job and want a quotation then with full details as they want to purchase immediately. It appeared we had successfully turned the tide from Plymouth and I felt much satisfied with the day's work, as they were practically made up on the Plymouth yesterday when our men visited them. They have the money and want to shoot fast and I think we now have a good chance. Got the 6:00 PM train for Erie and was home about 8:30.

Erie, Pa.,

Went down today and purchased some drawing material--correct pencils, Bristol board, brush, water color for wash, etc. and am going to embark on a real drawing campaign now. And deliberately I am going to suspend operations on this journal temporarily so I will have more spare time to devote to the drawing on which I want to concentrate. Now, when I am writing the journal, I want to be drawing, and my heart isn't in it. So for the time being the journal ceases after nearly 8 months, a record!
