Mannix wishes she could write the serial story. The smaller one is gradually crystalizing. Will she finish the Chronicles first or begin on Colonel Garesche's memoir? The prospectus has not yet arrived. She is sending some slips about Parnell. Mannix does not think Hudson owes her any money, but if he does she would like as much as he can spare. The California National Bank failed and many depositors are not able to meet obligations on which John B. Mannix counted. There was no dishonesty; simply falling off of deposits. The examiner, George O'Brien from Tiffin, Ohio, found $100,000 in the vaults. Mannix saw in an article by Katharine Tynan in "United Ireland" that she thinks the Americans are poor verse writers. Colonel Elmer Otis always asks for Hudson. His son, Frank Otis, goes down to Lower California today with a railroad surveying party. :: X-3-m A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
