Scope and Content

Letter to Fitzgerald & Lee, Inc. from Francis J. O'Brien Transcription: [Hand written letterhead: Francis J. O'Brien, M.D., 1016 Lake Avenue. Rochester, N.Y. Our paper with Kinkora on it is all up there. Jany 25, 1937 Dear Mr. FitzGerald Thank you for your letter of a recent date. I am content because I know you will please me with the boat. Why worry about details! I don't know what you mean by divided seats will cost $50 extra--extra to what? Why divide the poor things? etc. The seats in the two boats you showed us are O.K. I think you haven't seen my new boathouse. It is lengthened and widened so as to hold the new boat easily and a long doubly bent dock to make quiet water in and around the boathouse. So maybe I do not want a cockpit cover. Anyway you can take care of such items next summer. Did you get the name KINKORA all right? You say you will get the license too. Bob Meier, his wife brother and brother in law all went to the show. I was invited to ride with them but declined. They returned on Thursday I think I'll tell him he wasn't there. Yes please send me descriptive literature when possible. I can then decide what extras I may need. Sincerely Francis J. O'Brien [side note vertical on left side of letter] Of course I have written Hubert Hunt to let you have my cruiser
