Dear Mr. Williams! 
The last time I was at the Club I had a very pleasant 
hour with Captain DuVal . I n the course of it he presented me 
with a sample of your "Wash-'a-Dri." I think it is a very 
wonderful discovery and just the thing a busy executive would 
appreciate having at hand as much as any auto driver, especi- 
ally in hot, sticky weather. Between callers there isn't 
always time to run and wash up and your little tissue would 
seem to fit in most beautifully on occasions of that sort. 
The idea also occurred to us that a similar thing contain- 
ing a mosquito or insect repellent would be just as useful and 
as valuable to travellers, tfnder separate cover I am sending 
you a bottle of insect repellent left with me some years ago 
by a Navy man. I have never had it open and do not even know 
what it smells like, but it is just an idea of something that 
might be adapted to a different form of "Wash-* n-Dri. M 
A Mr. Bond, who was with us at the time, thought that, 
like cigarets and matches, these little packets could be dis- 
pensed from machines. This may be worth considering. 
I wish you luck with your product. It strikes me as 
better than anything of the sort that I have yet seen. 
Sincerely,
