Your idea about daily report of flying operations is a good one, and it will be carried out. In addition we already  have a log book of flights, and we will be able to make up this report you suggest from the log book.

As yet, as far as we know, the Wills outfit have carried only two or three pay passengers, and they have been here over a week. On the other hand a number of people have expressed a desire for a flight but will wait until we have our own machine. Yesterday Van Ness sent us a written order for air pictures of the Dennison factory to be taken as soon as all the scaffolding is taken aways from the new addition to the main building. 

Banks and I propose having aboard meeting now that the Power of Attorney is here and discuss the idea of putting on a rip-roaring stock selling campaign. In that case we feel it would be a good idea to have about two thousand prospectuses printed, in good style, and gotten out with our pictures and some data regarding the future of aviation--- something that will help us sell stock.

I don't believe we can sell any high priced machines like the Orenco, but we wanted to keep in touch with all the manufacturers to let them know we are in the aircraft business and open to propositions. 
Cheerio-for this time,
