Letter to Fitzgerald & Lee, Inc. from Francis J. O'Brien Transcription: Letterhead: Francis J. O'Brien, M.D., 1016 Lake Avenue, Rochester, New York Jan 22, 1938 Dear Mr. Fitzgerald, Thank you for your letter and drawing. Do you want them back? The boat looks swell to me but I can only tell from the finished product and that's rather late. I know I like the hull of my Thompson boat and this looks better. I like the o[pen cockpit but would rather have one seat with back in front and on the left side. We have chairs for the cockpit. I prefer a painted boat for fishing of course but the color is unimportant, anything but black. I prefer a plain deck without the ribs and putty as so much easier to take care of.. You didn't mention the cheaper boat and therefore I guess I wouldn't like it. Try to keep the price down to small profit and many sales. You might sell them even here. Of course we can advance the price if needed. Tell me what you can do-and what you can allow for my outfit - and I'll see if my budget will allow me to buy. Of course I want the fish box. Gratefully Francis J. O'Brien
