OFFICE OF
THE CHAIRMAN
Pasljiztgfau, 01,
Mr. Carl G. Fisher,
Miami Beach, Fla.
My dear Carl:
1
December 3, 1930
Thanks for your good letter of November 29th and while
your letter does not say so, I hope that the Aerocar car is being
forwarded from Montauk and not from Florida.
Alma and I are looking ahead with real pleasure to a
delightful motor trip to Florida and it is our intention to not drive
too fast. We will undoubtedly leave Washington an the morning of
December 19th.
I had a conference with Admiral Pratt, Chief of
Operations of the Navy, this morning concerning the Atlantic Fleet
maneuvers at Fort Pond Bay this summer and we have agreed upon the
week of August 10th to August 16th inclusive. (Which means that the
fleet will be on the job in Fort Pond Bay on Monday morning and will
not leave there until the following Sunday night or Monday morning.)
The entire Atlantic Fleet will base in and outside
of the Bay and will require an anchorage area of several miles.
The fleet will be under the command of Vice Admiral
Arthur L. Willard who will be in Washington in a few days when the
many details concerning the fleet's operations and activities, will
be agreed upon.
I will want the names and addresses of our important
stockholders and property owners in order that I may personally re-
quest them to serve with me on the various committees for the
entertainment of officers and men.
When I was young and strong like you are, my dear
Carl, I won the American Amateur Lightweight Boxing Championship in
Boston and the trophy was a silver statue of Jim Corbett, the then
professional champion, mounted on a base of black ebony.
