[[red underlined]] Bender [[/red underlined]] was not called in so as to let him [[red underlined]] continue his work on urea products [[/red underlined]] according to his own inventions and patents.

[[left margin in red]] [[red underlined]] Geo Roll [[/red underlined]] [[/left margin]]
[[underlined]] Sunday 15. [[/underlined]] 1933. - All Sunday here. [[red underlined]] George Roll [[/red underlined]] telephoned that Nina telephoned to him to go to Hays so as to hasten her plans. G.R. [[red underlined]] wants to see me. [[/red underlined]] Told him am too busy with too many matters on which I have to concentrate my full attention. All this is a very irritating interference with my work and distracts my attention. After all, all my present work is not what I would like to do, if I were not doing it for my family and their wellfare. - 
[[left margin in red]] Moods [[/left margin]]
If it were not for my family I [[red underlined]] would drop all connection with Bakelite and return to my former work and forget so called business matters, [[/red underlined]] or be in Florida on my boat or visit ^[[some]] foreign countries which I have not yet seen. At my age I am entitled to rest. Nor do I expect much gratitude from Nina for my efforts to keep the family on a high level and financially independent. Such considerations are easily forgotten
