TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [228], who is at ..., Florida, and who seeks further information, advice and counsel, as to his mental and material affairs. You will answer the questions which he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [228]; this we have had before, also those conditions and circumstances that have disturbed the body.
3. As we find, the conditions and circumstances in the material surroundings have changed considerably since last we had same.
4. While there may be brought, as we find, satisfactory arrangements or agreements with the government agents, there are the necessities of considering the general surroundings - as from those who might feel, through the circumstances, advantage of the situation might be taken; especially as considering the holding of loans in the financial circles.
5. There not having been known all the circumstances surrounding the situation, it would be well that those in the confidence of [228] - and the conditions that are to be met, while not discussed openly - be kept acquainted with all the happenings.
6. The meetings, as we find, with all those interested so far have been quite satisfactory.
7. There needs be only the carrying on, as it were, and these adjustments may be made.
8. And there may be opened those channels through which the operators, or present owners of the stocks, and those interested in furthering same, may yet make of these entanglements those circumstances and conditions that will make for a satisfactory remuneration for all concerned; serving in channels, ways and manners, that will bring a degree of good, satisfaction of a service, as well as those remunerations for [228] and associates.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How should I proceed in working out the affairs of the company?
    (A) In making those associations and connections, wherein that the products of the company may have an equal show with those channels of outlet for same.
    And with this there may come that as we have given.
    All branches in their respective spheres of activity, these should be well chosen - and then those associations and connections made.
11. (Q) Was my activity before the Board of Tax Appeals on April 19th satisfactory?
    (A) Satisfactory; as also the meeting with the State authorities.
    Hence the only warning in respect to same is that there is not advantage taken by some parties interested in OBTAINING the whole organization, under the existent conditions - see?
    With the financiers, or the bankers, as we find, this may be avoided - or through those channels.
12. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 2/10/33 He obtained a Physical and Business Rdg. 228-5.
2. 4/21/33 He submitted further questions as to results of appearing before Tax Appeals Board in D.C. as advised in 228-5, and requested additional suggestions.

REPORTS

1. 6/20/33 He sent a contribution, saying: "We have had all kinds of ups and downs with the business of the Industries, but have not yet thrown up the sponge. We have put up a thousand dollars with the Government as an offer in compromise on that old 1928 tax case, and it may be possible that they will accept that and forget the other nine thousand that they desire. This is kind of in line with my suggestion to them at Washington, Jacksonville, and the local office here."
2. 6/03/34 He wrote: "Business is kind of up and down here - mostly down. The rejuvenated ... Products, Inc. (formerly ... Industries, Inc.) is just trailing along by the hardest, and I have not yet been able to feel confident about their future. Their Moses has not yet come to the front."
3. 9/18/34 He obtained 228-7 on one of his inventions.
4. 8/08/35 He wrote: "I remained with ... Products, Inc. a full year after their reorganization, and it really looked like they were not going to get anywhere with the line up they had... I understand now they have given several outside groups options to buy out major portions of their business... Some six months ago I pulled out and have been working for the ... Works ever since... Whether or not I made a good change may be somewhat doubtful, as our business has not been particularly encouraging."
5. 2/18/36 He obtained Business Rdg. 228-8 on his new work as branch manager since Jan. 1st of a credit and finance corp.
