Dear Commanders Gerin and I made it over the snow bound mountains just in time to see the "Turkey" carved Thanksgiving Day, and for the first time felt that we had earned it and knew the true meaning of Day. Since my return, have been very busy, but did not forget the Aldridge matter. Am taking the liberty of sending you a copy of my letter to him. Any suggestions you may have to offer in getting this - "If I had some ham I'd have some ham and eggs, if I had some eggs", situation going will be welcome, as I hope we can get together. Sent the letter of formal application to the Bureau marked for your attention last Friday. Trust it was satisfactory. The Purifier is about ready for test- ing here and will be shipped sometime next week, unless I hear from you to the contrary. Kindest regards, Pf. Mere ce C. B. Murphy 5 December 1936. Dear Mr. Murphy: This will - acknowledge receipt of your ietter of November 30 enclosing a copy of your letter to Aldridge discussing in general. the situation with respect to a Washington representative for your company. ZI am somewhat disappointed to see that the agreement has reduced itself to a pure sales proposition, but nevertheless appreciate most sin- cerely the effort to which you have gone in pre- senting the whole situation to Aldridge. Trust that he will contact your’ Wilmington representative and that the contact will be mutually beneficial. In the meantime; 1 am awaiting with interest the test of your equipment at Annapolis. You may rest assured that if it gives reasonable promise of accom- plishing the claims that you make for it we will give it a further test on some of the engines whose present behavior is not up to. standard. Very sincerely, W. D. Leggett, Lt. Comdr °3 U.S... Mr. C. B. Murphy, Youngstown Miller Company, 1636 Hayes Avenue, Sandusky, Ohio.
