y K' K u Y D9 Q I 0 4 44 ST. LUKE TERRACE, E. E. LONDON, ENGLAND, October 21, 1942. MR. WM. CASSADY CINCINNATI, OHIO Dear Bill: Your letter certainly cheered me up, but it did not exceed the wonderful news that I received from the home office this very morning. My joy knew no bounds when I opened the letter which gave me the long-hoped-for news, Your being in London is no longer necessary to our interests in England, you may return to Cin- cinnati and assume your duties as soon as you can arrange to do so. You can't imagine how happy I feel to know that next week I shall be aboard the S. S. Mer- cury bound for home, and if everything turns out all right, I shall probably be in Cincy next month for the big game: U. C. vs. Harvard. From what I hear, it seems U. C. is the favorite this year. Let's hope so. , Speaking of Harvard and football reminds me: I just received a letter from Gene, but I guess you have already heard the welcome news of his success. He is Dean of the Department of Engineering. I surely am proud of our class mate. I addressed him in this fashion, MR. EUGENE ADAMS, PH. D. CE. EE. DEAN OF DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Doesn't it sound big? He is to spend Thanksgiving with his mother, so I am trying to make arrangements to meet him in the east and come home with him. We certainly shall have to celebrate when we get together. O yes, I have read all about it. The papers carried the story from the start, and the Pall Mall Gazette today came out with these lines. City of Cincinnati wins Supreme Court decision over Harry Ford! Reilly and Cassady counsels for the city, evinced great ability in handling the case, and there was no doubt in Washington from the beginning, what the decision would be. Cassady who has been for some years in the public eye is a possible nominee for governor next year. VVhen I read of the glory of my old school friend my chest swelled until the but- tons on my top coat strained like hounds in leash. Well, this must be all, until I see you. I sincerely hope that your political ambition will be realized. Your friend, CHARLES GRUBER. 2' -2- -1- - A - 9 X 1 r vb' 'X Qt Page Seventy-two

CLARENCE BRINK, NOTRE DAME, IND. Dear Clarence: When your letter arrived, I had already booked passage on the Cunardia, which is leaving New York tomorrow. It is a magnificent ship, truly a palace on the sea. I am going over very much in advance of my party, as I intend spending the summer in southern France. My purpose is partly professional, as I hope to get a setting for an historical novel that I have in mind. In the fall I shall go to Rome and meet Archbishop Dornheggen's party. I am hoping to make a feature article as well as a news article of the next Consistory. You doubtless know that His Grace is soon to become His Eminence. Doesn't it sound grand! Cardinal Dornheggen, of Cincinnati, of Hyde Park, of St. lVIary's! The youngest cardinal created in two hundred years. His parents and his brother, Dr. Dornheggen, are to be of his party. I shall return to the States with Harry's people in December. He is, of course, to remain in Rome. I hope I'm not irreverent, but he'll always be Harry to me. Enough of myself. How do you like your work at Notre Dame? Think of it! Harry a cardinal, Schwertie a basket ball coach, you a teacher of accounting, and I a writer. Well, we've traveled far since 1927, yet not one of us knows half as much now as we thought We knew then. Please express my regrets at not being able to attend the class reunion. I fear the regrets are not very sincere, as I am willing to miss even a class reunion to be present at the ceremonies for Harry. h i Yours, GEORGE JOHNSON L, E 6,7 9' y I VTX f I X Q X 5' , Page Seventy-one K

- Qwivf if Lf It f CINCINNATI, OHIO June IO, 1942. MR. EDWARD ALF, DETROIT, IXIICHIGAN. Dear Ed : Mighty glad to hear you are settled.lNIoving a central office is a mean job, I know. I have some very good news for you. I have just the man you are looking for to take care of your interests in the Cincinnati Aeroplane Accessories Co., and you will be surprised to hear whom I recommend. I'll tell you the whole story. Surely you remember Cyril Ruilman, one of the junior members of our class. lfVell, he has an oflice in the same building with me. We've been having lunch together every day. He asked about you, so I told him how you had expanded the Edward F. Alf Co., and found it necessary to move your head office to Detroit. He was very glad to hear of your success, and, as I told him of our correspondence, he asked me to send his congratulations. Cyril tells me that he does not intend to remain much longer in town, for the Philadelphia Gas and Electric Co. has asked him to accept the office of Auditor. It will be about a month before he starts for that city with his wife and two boys. Cyril is surely proud of those boysg his only regret is that they will not be able to attend St. Il'Iary's. . I regret that Cyril is leaving town for he would have been just the man for you. However, he gave me a whole file of recommendations for Joe Nordloh who was formerly an accountant with Cyril.' Now Joe is with Brown and- Hill, and will be glad, I am sure, to accept your proposition. You can write or wire him at 473 Brink Building, Sixth and Walnut. By the Way, that is the first office building I designed, and some Detroit firm is thinking of erecting one of the same style up there, so if the contract goes through I suppose I'll have to bear with your company for two or three weeks. Detroit is a beautiful city, but Cincinnati, the old town, will always be Hhomei' to Yours truly, ALLEN VVALSH. E0 LD CINCINNATI, OHIO HUGOER AND COSTELLO April 18, 1942. ATTORNEYS AT LAW RAPID TRANSIT BLDG., CITY. Dear Sirs: I don't want to use that formal salutation at all, but I guess something else would look strange in addressing one's counsel. Yes, that is the capacity in which I must regard you. The Schenk-Kremer mail order business is in trouble. You know our business has grown beyond the capacity of the small place on llladison Road, so we bought in Indian Hill and began to erect what is really a worth-while place. When we left high school if anyone opened a business in Indian Hill, he'd have to beg for an OHice force, but with the subway and the volors, it's only a block from Fountain Square. Q1 7 J' . y .
