  Tom returned from San Francisco and informed me his plans had been changed and that he had decided to go to the Portland, Oregon Fair for the summer. We then settled our affairs and he left for Portland and I went to my home in Toledo. After paying all my debts I had little cash left with which to build additional equipment. I made seven flights in Los Angeles and by the time these were completed I had a definite idea of the type of airship I wanted to build for myself and I was very anxious to get started.
