Letter to Fitzgerald & Lee, Inc. from Francis J. O'Brien Transcription: [Letterhead: Francis J. O'Brien, M.D., 1016 Lake Avenue, Rochester, New York February 8, 1937 My dear Mr. Fitzgerald, Thank you for the folder and price lists. I repeat that I want the "Kinkora" painted on the stern or transom. The registry numbers must be on the prow. I have enlarged the boathouse but also have a curved dock to protect the boathouse from the N.E. wind. Of course the family will be pleased with the new boat as you describe it. I wonder if I could have the St. Christopher medal from the cruiser. It is on the front of the cockpit near the door. If I might help in the sale of the boat I'd rather leave it there. Some non Catholics have great faith in St. Christopher. I can get another medal. Sincerely Francis J. O'Brien
