Scope and Content

A letter to Fitzgerald & Lee from Arthur F. Ash, M. D. Transcription: Arthur F. Ash, M. D. 710 Boulevard East Cor. Highwood Terrace Weehawken, N. J. August 16, 1938. Fitzgerald & Lee, Alexandria Bay, New York, New York. Dear Sirs: I have just been wondering what condition you found the boat in. While I will probably not be using the boat this summer, I am interested in what had to be done to the engine. My two sons are spending the summer in Gananoque and since they are living in a tent, have no place to shelter the boat. Therefore, I do not want them to use it this summer. So, if they should call for it, my orders are for you to tell them that they are not supposed to have it. without a written order from me. Very sincerely yours, A. F. Ash Arthur F. Ashe, M. D.
