Framingham, April 26th,1920.

Dear Brooks;

Wish to state that confirming telegram I would be pleased if you disregarded my letter of Saturday in which I tendered my resignation. It seems that both Banks and the writer did not keep cool over a difference in opinion and I sent in my resignation at a time when I misunderstood Ban's attitude. My grounds were that without harmony nothing can be accomplished, but it is all fixed up now, and please forget it.
Operations with an Avro belonging to the Inter-national begins Thursday if the weather is good. We feel that this is a good proposition for us, even with but 25% of the gross receipts, for the following reasons. We are put to no expense, they furnish the machine, the gasoline, mechanic, and foot all operating expense, while we do the piloting. It will give Banks some warming up on airplanes, mean a lot of advertising for us and help us to secure the supporters who are still on the fence, and set the same time put a little money in the treasury for operating purposes.
Regarding this buy of the Jn, we feel that it is really worth the 2300 dollars asked for it, f o b Framing-ham, and we ought to have the balance for it when it is ready for delivery with out trouble. We agree with you that Jenny is worthless for stunting but we do not want to stunt
