Dear Sirs : Enclosed photograph of myself of which put in the National Anti Misframe League Forum of which I am a member, No. 1273. I received your letter a few weeks ago stating of sending in some ideas of my work. I am very sorry to disappoint you in the columns of the form as I have been very discouraged this past summer of being out of employment on account of these theatres closing this past summer on account of the hot weather here. When they reopened, a new management took these theatres over and did not hire us old fellows back, so it made it pretty hot for us all here. I do wish to state that we have one of the oldest men in the history of the operating game that worked over 20 years straight at this one business here in Oswego, N. Y. No doubt there are other men but a very few of them that reach this limit of time in my opinion. Wishing you a happy new year, I am, Respectfully, GEORGE E.
