Scope and Content

Letter to Fitzgerald & Lee, Inc. from John O. Hill Transcription: John O. Hill, D.D.S. 208 East Side Savings Bank Rochester, N.Y. Attn Mr. Lee Fitzgerald & Lee Alexandria Bay, N.Y. Dear Sirs: Your letter received and the Chris Craft you mentioned may interest me although rather have a 22 ft boat. Also I think you ought to do better than $500 as this Scripps engine is the best one on Sodus Bay and installed in the proper boat would be a knock out. You don't know of a Hacker hull page 2 or a Gar Wood about 22 so you could perhaps make a trade on hulls and you install my engine for me in this winter. Yours truly J.O.Hill This hull you made is a beauty and just as slick as ever and a wonderful seaworthy hull you certainly made a dandy boat. I will either have to put a smaller engine in that and keep the engine. I like both of them but the don't hitch. J.O.Hill
