Molding mixtures 20% less in lbs
Transparent ⅓ in Dollars of 1926
Cement is somewhat higher in lbs and in Dollars
I calculated as follows.
6000 shares of R&H are
            entitled to cash invested
$1,000,000{
            surplus
If at 500$ they cost me  $3 000 000
        it means really   1 000 000
                         -----------
       real cash needed  $2,000,000
If I buy 1500 shares from R&H and have my friends ^[[(friends)]] with me
this means 12000 + 2000 + 1500 [[strikethrough]] 0 [[/strikethrough]] 
= [[strikethrough]] 135000 to vote for me 155 L [[/strikethrough]]
                    12000 myself
                     3000 friends
                     1500 Purchased R&H
                   ------
                  16500 = 4 3/24 votes 
                              out of 6.
12000 myself
 3500 my friends
 1500 purchased from R&H
------
17000 gives 4 6/24 votes out of 6

12000 myself
 3500 my friends
 2500 R&H
------
18000 in all = 4 12/24

If I buy 3000 R&H then =
12000 myself
 3500 my friends
 3000 R&H
------
18500 = [[strikethrough]] 4 23/24 [[/strikethrough]] 4 15/24
so [[underline]] 3000 RH purchase, with the help of my friends, would give me 5 directors [[/underline]] 
If I have 4001 shares in addition to my 12000 + 6000 = 18000 shares purchased [[underline]] I can appoint 6 directors thus insuring majority vote for all minor questions [[/underline]]
Yesterday and today were two very busy hectic days. Today hardly a few minutes to swallow a biscuit or two with some stuffing. 
Yet [[underline]] I feel I can better concentrate my attention on these pending matters while I am here alone on my boat [[/underline]]
