My dear Skipper;
With faltering footsteps and eyes downcast, I4
have just returned from New York after having served as a
pall bearer at the death of old King Barleycorn. I
missed you during those last wild moments, however will
give you a vivid description when I see you.
During my trip east I had the pleasure of staying
the the Griswold Hotel at Itew London, Connecticut for a week.
This hotel is being operated by a Mr. C. S. Krom whom I
happen to know. No doubt you also know Krom through his
connection with the Hotel Belleview at Belleair Heights, Fla. , Y
Krom is a young fellow, fall of pep and judging
from the cuisine and service at the Griswold is certainly on 1
to his job.
k
It seems that John McE. Bowman, who heads the
Pershing Square Groop, has lately purchased the Griswold and
Krom desires to make a change, and ask if I would not suggest
his name to you in connection with your new hotel Plai.ngo at
Miami. I advised Krom to write you personally and frankly
• think he is one of your kind of men, and if you have not already
located a manager or assistant manager it might be worth your
while to get a line on Krom, who by the way is well known by
Lou Wainwright.
I am simply placing this before you for what it is
worth an/ if you are interested will be pleased to talk with
you further regarding Krom.
With warm personal regards and hoping to have the
pleasure of trimming you at tennis, I am,
ij
Sincerely,
