170 Oct 2. Bright cool morning. Westerly breeze, everything getting dry. [[in margin]] See Oct 1. below [[\in margin]] [[red underline]] About noon we left [[\red underline]] for [[red underline]] ocean [[\red underline]] by [[red underline]] Sandy Hook. [[\red underline]] Fresh breeze aft. [[red underline]] George Roll [[\red underline]] seems entirely recovered from his seasickness and seems to enjoy the trip. Went near light-ship then back against stiff breeze. Dropped anchor before Raritan Yacht Club about 5P.M. Beautiful sunset. Felt rather tired went to bed at 8. [[in margin]] I O N [[\in margin]] Oct 1. (Omitted). Clear bright weather. Went to factory. [[red underline]] George Roll [[\red underline]] joined me about 10P.M. He had been to Yonkers to sleep. Rossi drove us to [[red underline]] Dane Mfg [[\red underline]] Co where met Fuller Swan and Burroughs Still working [[red underline]] on bond orders on which [[\red underline]] they have money and few or no [[end page]] [[start page]] 171 [[red underline]] new orders on hand. I begin to realize more and more that May, Rossi and Swan in recommending purchase of Dane Mfg Co. showed very poor judgement and superficial acquaintance with [[\red underline]] situation. [[in margin two red exclamation marks]] This will be a [[red underline]] lesson for the future if [[\red underline]] they recommend anything new not to take matters too much for granted. I also find that [[red underline]] new boiler is not necessary altho' May [[\red underline]] and Burroughs recommended new boiler. Took a few sandwiches at plant then went to factory of Burroughs, there met [[red underline]] Dr. Neville Monroe Hopkins [[\red underline]] in quest of information about Bakelite [[red underline]] for Union Carbide Co, [[\red underline]] also Gordon who was there on business. Drove back about 4P.M
