My dear Mrs Griffin
The fountain pens arrived and I am very much obliged to you for your trouble in getting them.
I just discovered a couple of bills you sent me to be O.K.'d some time ago and I am sorry I have delayed so in attending to them; I enclose them.
Mr Morrison joins me in kindest regards.
Yours heartily

My dear Mrs Griffin:
As regards those bills all the items seem all right. I can't recollect anything about the Pearson bill but as it is only 75 cents, let it go. I was rather surprised at the price Stadler put on the Norfolk jacket he made me, $60, and I wish you would have Father tell him so. About the Mason Trowbridge letter please send him $3 as I did owe him $25 instead of the $22 which was sent him.
I am very much obliged indeed for the clippings, Mrs Griffin, I only get N.Y. papers about twice a week.
Yours sincerely
John E. Woodruff

P.S. You know there is 10% coming off the Stadler bill per agreement -

Our examination schedules only just came out today so I have been unable to let you know about June 7th before. My exams do not begin till June 9th so I can come down June 7th.
I am sending a letter to Father to your care as I want you to forward it to him unless he will be in the city this week.
Sincerely

My dear Mrs Griffin.
Just a line to ask you if Tiffany has the plate from which my calling cards have been made. If so I want 50 more cards ordered for my use before I start in business, at which time I will have a new plate made with my business address on. Please let me know about the plate; if you have any recollection about it.
Hoping you have enjoyed a most delightful summer I am
Yours heartily

When I got Mr Smith's letter about wanting facts conncerning my wedding I spoke to Father about it and told him I didn't know what was meant unless it were to date which hasn't as yet been decided on. I can't see that there are any other facts needed. We don't know for sure where we are to live after we get back from Europe. The only thing I am sure of now is a marriage about the 1st of June with a week at camp for a starter in the way of a honeymoon and then a trip abroad. I haven't asked my ushers yet and Miss Watson hasn't decided on her brides maids all this will be done next week while I am in Columbus. Anyway, I don't see why Mr Smith is in such a hurry for all this when it probably won't be published till within a week of the wedding during to so many changes generally made in the bridal party and other arrangements just before the weddig noone ever gives for publication the make up of the bridal party till within a week of the wedding at the earliest and generally not until the day before. I should like to hear from you about all this and if there is anything you must know now I will do my best to inform you.
I enclose some bills to be paid.
Yours most Sincerely

My dear Mrs Griffin
I think this Waldorf bill is correct. I did hire the carriage.
I saw Father for so short a time when I was last down and had so many things to talk over that I am very sorry to say I forgot about the Typewriter school but will speak to him about it when he comes to New Haven a week from Monday. Please present or send to him the enclosed bills which about are me in New Haven now.
Yours sincerely

Dear Father
I have just read John's letter to you and have only a few words to add to it. John Palmers and I had a protracted meeting here in the office last night after supper and decided on a definite course. In understanding the situation this must be realized, that we must face and take care of a monthly deficit provided our sales merely keep up with the average for the past 12 months, namely 5 per month. At the rate of our expenses for the [---] period this deficit has been about $3000.00, so the [---] last night was for the purpose of cutting down our [---] so as to reduce this deficit we decided on a [---] of about $1800.00 by laying off one draftsman, the [---] of the shop and half the men in the shop, one [?grapher], the inspector and the rock drill man we [?] made a big cut in advertising and the amount of [---] ordered to complete machines. The idea of all [---] was that the deficit might be reduced to such an [---] that our resources - namely one more call on the [---] might carry us to a point where we have raised [---] average of sales to a point where it will carry us. All this cutting does not effect our ability to solicit orders - because the cut hasn't been made in that direction - or our ability to execute orders - because we have 20 machines practically completed which will carry us for 4 months at our average rate of 5 per month. This cutting is entirely my idea, as I doubt if John would have given it a thought tell the next call was used up. In fact the meeting last night was at my instigation and at the meeting I succeeded in so thoroughly scaring John & Palmers that before it was finished they were almost willing to cut their own salaries. We are doing this pruning without in any way jeopradising our organization as we are not letting any men go who have proved indispensable to us, [---] who we could not get back if we wanted them.
Of course we are in hopes, and believe, that this policy is only temporary. It will be easier for us, [---] better business conditions come along, to slowly resume our normal state, than to cut down after all our resources have been spent. The only cut down [---] would be a shut down, and we can't have that.
Don't worry, we'll come out all right, and that all there is to it. The machine proves itself more of [---] wonder every day - except as a seller - and the [---] isn't far off when that exceptioin will be recurred. [---] we are after now is to keep that day from being [---] far off.
Love to Isabel we are all very well. I am [---] down Tuesday night and will return Thursday

My dear Mrs Griffin,
I am here at Seabright visiting the Haremeyers so if there is any mail from Father please forward it to me c/o W. F. Haremeyer, Rumson Road. I just got back from the woods where I went with the whole Haremeyer family for over Sunday at Kill Kare. Esty Morrison is also here on their invitation; he had been a great aid to me during the two parties I have had at Camp.
I'm going out to Michigan Monday to spend a month but I will leave my address with you in case of emergency; I will send it to you when I go to New York.
Hoping you are having an enjoyable time this Summer and not completely melting away in the Broadway office
I am Yours heartily
John E. Woodruff
