Chrysler, Jr., at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. In part: "Mrs. Halow is down in Virginia somewhere and I am unable to get in touch with her…If these two elderly ladies are resident of New York State, will you please let me know where they live, how long they have been residents and other particulars and I will check up and see where the Homes are located, what their rules and regulations are, etc. and give you all the information. If they are residents of the State of Connecticut, I think the people up in Connecticut can find out more about it than I can…Your mother and I just returned from Detroit this morning. Thelma and the baby are fine and they expect to move down here on the 25th…I hope you are getting along well. You may be interested to know that Jack is doing excellently at Fessenden this term. His marks for the week of October 6th are exceptionally good; the best he has ever had…His tutoring has certainly done him a lot of good." In fine condition.

Chrysler, Jr., who, in 1934 founded the Airtemp division of Chrysler Corporation, which developed the first automotive air-conditioning system.
