When warm weather come, I am going to take my violin and start on the road - self literature and organize so I can get little money to build a shak of my own. I lost a good in Miland Mich in 1916. I been deprived of earning a living for 11 years (yes a good living) as I have some good trades; I the pilot - engineer - structural I ran worker - rigger - and also a violinist - and I would like to play for you people mellodies that was never heard in this country (my granfathers music) over 150 years old - excuse me for now, I have to go out and cut wood to save enough money so I can get stamps to send my literature to my friends as I have millions. So I'll close with my best wishes and hope Mr. Einstein is well and with good health by this time. So yours for good byes and health, and for Freedom and Security, from the old Pilot 83 years old.
