That Air-o-gram stuff is great. Why no Air-go-gram if you're going to use that trade name. (Have you patented or copywrited Airgo yet, by the bye?) Best way to advertise that there is. 

Great heavens-- if this fellow Joseph can by is brand new Avros for 1800 bucks send him word to gather one for us, along with a bunch of necessary spares, and ship it immediately. It will take time to get here--lots of time, but even though the freight will be high it will be money in our pockets to get our machine this way. Write to him, for the love of Pete. 

Those mechanics applications are interesting but we can't take em on yet on accont of overhead, I'm afraid. That Blanchard is worth keeping tabs on.--If Bush knows anything at all and wants to invest 400 he might do if his salary demand wouldn't b too high. We must have an expert for the first machine, though, for it must not become a flivver under any circumstances. So it'll take a lot of picking before we decide on a man, and the choic will anyway be influenced finnally by our first machine, be it rotary or stationary. OFF Tom Gavin. What th'hell did he do? He's good --maybe, but his personality is not to my particular taste, at least as I remember it. Edward Smith is rather indefinite. Mr. Robinson is beyond us at present. William M----- strom is a mystery too, but a fellow of his indicated intelligence is what we will probably save moneybon. I mean the kind of a man that doesn't know too much and aspire too high, and is satisfied with a smaller stipulation than the man with brains who knows what he is worth. 

I'm too damned tired to go any further but anyway I'm with you. I'll write to the high micky mucks whose names you gave me when I can in a measure catch up with the main of my work -- inside of a week or ten days. 

Good luck and keep the pot boiling.
