Dear Frau:

Your short note received today.

Went to Fair grounds to-day. Had fair success with pictures there, although the rain and cloudy weather spoilt my chances of making any more pictures this afternoon. Monday is Labor Day. I don’t expect to make any more pictures for the workers at the fair as they will soon be through but I shall probably put what I have left on sale at 5¢ each Tuesday.

Father is talking big about the people he is going to get as subscribers. He tried to get Sam last night and he is going to land everybody that has ever done business with Chas. such as Theodore – Mather – the milk men, etc.

Chas. of course will land the same people for photographs.

There is a Buffum Automatic press in drug store downtown. This is similar to the one I was considering only a different make. It looks like a good proposition and I almost think I made a mistake in not starting that last Spring. But I think we will come out O.K. in the Fair.

I have been downtown shopping this evening. Did not send any laundry this week so I had to buy some clothes. Bought 2 pair socks – 2 collars – 1 white shirt – 2 pair near trousers – ½ lb candy. Just arrived home.

To-morrow morning will have to go down to Italian district to deliver some Button pictures and then from there to the Clam Bake at Rockaway Beach.

Will miss you to-morrow when I shave as my neck needs shaving.

Don’t forget to bring Kodak home with you. I never thought about mailing any films to you.

Write

Yours truly,

Max
