[[/underlined in red]] Fresh. NE breeze. As crew had Andrew aided by William the colored man. Pleasant weather altho slight spray.

Very pleasant excursion. Barbara since yesterday had lost her voice but regained it today on board the Ion. - Is this [[underlined in red]] merely a cold or is it a symptom of heredity she had from her grand mother Mrs. Alexander [[/underlined in red]] Graham Bell, who lost her voice and [[underlined in red]] hearing after an illness? [[/underlined in red]]

Got telegram from George that [[underlined in red]] Dr. Whitaker [[/underlined in red]] intends to be in [[underlined in red]] Miami [[/underlined in red]] end of week and wants to meet me if agreeable.

Got 2 letters Air Mail; one from [[underlined in red]] George, [[/underlined in red]] one from [[underlined in red]] Rossi [[/underlined in red]] on subject of [[underlined in red]] Cyanamid. George thinks we have not enough good men at head [[/underlined in red]] of our [[underlined in red]] Corporation [[/underlined in red]] inease[[wild guess]] Rossi as he "gives out. Says [[underlined in red]] social element [[/underlined in red]] also [[underlined in red]] plays a role?! [[/underlined in red]] For instance Holmgren is timid and his wife is a nonentity shy etc. [[underlined in red]] Does he expect better from the men of Cyanamid. [[/underlined in red]] He only knows few of them. I believe, if given opportunity [[underlined in red]] we have plenty of our men who will grow up. nor is our enterprise a social affair. [[underlined in red]] Some way or another [[underlined in red]] he gives [[strikethrough]] su [[/strikethrough]] insufficient credit to our men, [[/underlined in red]] specially those in [[underlined in red]] Bloomfield. [[/underlined in red]] Seems to have a prejudice against them. - Is a case of "All fields look green faraway!" He and Rossi were the loudest to denounce that man and aides who now manage the Beetle Dept of Cyanamid. [[underlined in red]] He does not know any [[/underlined in red]] of [[underlined in red]] the short comings of some of the men [[/underlined in red]] at [[underlined in red]] the head of Cyanamid. [[/underlined in red]] If he has to work with them he will
