| Transcript | 27 January 1889 PALACE HOTEL Cor. [Corner?] Vine, Sixth and College Sts. [Streets?] Cincinnati [Cincinnatti?], 27th/1 [January?] 1889 My Dear Father I have looked further into your letters today. I see you seem to think that there is no money to be made in America by Pale and Cream Roughs this is a mistake; as there is far more money in them than Elastics. No doubt you will have to go pretty sloly [slowly?] & cautiously about getting into the American trade. but it will never do for you to loose [lose?] big orders for the want of a couple of men in the Lapping room. or for the value of a few samples [other?] houses make [two?] sample books for your one. I go into no house without seeing dozens of [ Ki--s?] etc I know knothing [nothing?] in this country that would suit Simon. The temptations for young men are far greater than at home From all accounts the medical here is paid about the same as at home; a mans only chance would be to commence in some of the big cities and I believe it takes one a good time to establish a practice. I would strongly recommend John to have a run out here. The voyage would do him worlds of good & he would get a lot of valuable information. It has been snowing all day & looks like more. I dont expect to do much here as I expect the buyers will all be in the East. You need not be calculating on my going into the business [again?] when I return. As I have no idea of it. Your aff [affectionate?] Son H J C [Clark?] |
