August 17, 1923 – George Foster Peabody to JSA

 

  • August 17, 1923 – George Foster Peabody to JSA –

Dear Mr. Apperson:

Thank you for your letter of August 16th. You say “Crown Island.” It is “Triuna Island” – the old Three Brothers Island – where Mr. and Mrs. Trask lived, south of Bolton Bay.

I fear Governor Smith is under such pressure that it is doubtful whether he would be willing to take two days. I would like him to take the trip quietly, rather than in the midst of a crowd of officials.

I am,

Very truly yours,

George Foster Peabody (Saratoga Springs, NY)

P.S. I hear that Mr. Colvin is to surround him with a great company – Just the way not to find out how to do, but it will make capital for the Park Scheme probably… GFP
