May 13th, 1920.
Dear Brooks;
  The thirteenth always was our lucky day and this one is no exception.
 The two bladed propellor came and we are seeing rice about putting it in his window, with a placard announcing a sale of duplicates at $25.00 each. They are well worth the price, being nicely finished and copper tipped. 
  We have a date with Dick Long and Rice, and Cole has now promised to stop in and talk over our stock proposition. All seemed agreeable after the big headlines in the paper about Banks' feat of 15 000 feet in the Avro. A copy of the paper is being sent you[[to]] you under seperate[[separate]] cover.
  Yesterday we were informed that the Jenny could not be delivered and it was followed by the following proposition. The International will accept twenty three fifty on the Avro, and take our note for the balance and guarantee the price will not be over $5,000 and possibly less. It seems that this new British Aircraft Corporation coming here with a $5,000,000 capital have purchased all the Avros in the market, and thru some agency arrangement with the Inter-Allied the price has come down a peg. What do you think of the new price, and the proposition of paying $2300 and giving a note for the balance.
