My dear Germain:

Many thanks for your letter received the other day. I haven't done very much since my last letter to you expect building up slightly your cash balance and taking a profit on Chesapeake and Ohio.

I am planning to be away for a couple of weeks now, so I have entered orders to buy a few stocks on further weakness in this market, which might happen while I am away. I rather feel that we may now see the long-overdue secondary reaction, and I would be willing to take advantage of it as business reports all show slight improvement, which I rather feel should continue well into next year anyway.

The market, as I felt, was too optimistic, and now business is beginning to catch up with it.

I am glad to be off for a bit of a holiday, as the summer has been very unpleasant, with a lot of hot weather. I did want to drop you a line, however, before I left.

I have been in touch with Robbin, and everything is in order. I told him that I could be reached if he wished to get in touch with me.

Sincerely yours,
J. A. Edgar
