Dear Brooks;
Your long-hand letter of the 3d received this morning, and we congratulate you on the new job. CO 1st [[?]] guys (to Aug 12 1921) We trust that you will be the recipient of the pay and rank that goes with it.

Please note the enclosed add that Wills has in the evening paper. This party Wills is some camouflage-- having told us that he wasn't coming here and that Watson had crashed and would not be in the flying game this year. On top of that story he sends watkins out here a week in advance of his own appearance and approaches us as if this action of his fits in with his advice to us. However, we are'nt letting him think we care about it, as a matter of fact it will help aviation, and as we are in it to stay we are more concerned with what commercial aviation will mean ten years hence than little incidences of the present moment.
Banks went in to Boston this morning as he has an opportunity to fly a ship out here to the Muster Field and take a Wellesley College girl from the Muster Field to the College grounds and return for the purpose of dropping a parcel in the College pond, a secret class performance of some kind, for the International Aircraft, but as it is now raining it may not take place.
