Transcript

Pasadena, California. October 10, 1932. Mr. Hugh Peters, c/o MacKay & Company, 14 Wall Street, New York City, New York. Dear Mr. Peters: I have delayed writing the company since Mr. Mac- Kay’s passing because I hardly knew to whom to ad- dress my letters as Malcolm made me feel he took such a personal interest in my little affairs. I like to address one person instead of the company so if you have the time and inclination to be my ad- visor, I shall be happy to have you tell me about my “B” account and any other matters that should come to my attention. Malcolm wrote me a personal letter March 16, 1932, in which he advised “Just let the “B” account ride. Sooner or later I’ll work out the debit it now shows”. I should like to have your expression on the matter as it now stands. Thank you. Very truly yours,
