Inclosed bulletin for Sat.! I have just returned from the factory, & left everything doing finely — they are assembling the parts and expect to distribute into the case this afternoon. / I shall not send any more bulletins to you, as you will be home so soon. … I paid Mr. Paige his salary today [MTP]. Note: among his duties for Sam, Whitmore often visited Pratt & Whitney’s factory to check on Paige.
