Hubbard Lake, Michigan
Not being able to decipher the code, I am sending my $2.00 as I
like to keep paid up a bit ahead, never want to miss a copy. I told
you that I was building a steam launch. Full truth is, that I was
collecting the many gadgets needed for one which I now have, but
now my hobbyist friends, want boilers like pictures enclosed, but
larger, so my boiler lays there unfinished. Oh! well, it is good
clean fun and I meet fine men even though our friends (non-steam
lovers) believe that we are slightly cracked.
I have two fine steam launch engines, a single and a double, and
a fussy little two-thirds hp. power double oscillator. I made the
last named one that is why it’s fussy.
Best regards to all and hope I can meet Rev. Elmer at some of
the reunions. I have a Port Huron which I call Old Smoky.
