DR. JULIAN N. DOW 1209 MARSH-STRONG BUILDING LOS ANGELES, CALFORNIA April 4, 1925. Dear Hardesty; Please overlook my negligence in answering your letter but I am just naturally a procrastinator and cant seemingly get over it. Surely good to hear from your directly, although I have heard indirectly several times, first from your brother then from Dr. Garstang of Los Angeles, a former St. Louis [Missouri] G.U. man, but you would hardly think I was from the rapidity with which answer your letter. Am doing Eye Ear Nose and Throat work out here and so far am getting by to such an extent that I only get hungry four or five times daily, and then occassionally get enough to get something to eat. Really I have been very fortunate both in my recovery from the injury that I had and also in my practice here which is increasing nicely. My clinical appointments and hospital appointments are both excellent and I enjoy the work a great deal. In other words I am a real Los Angeles booster for I like this country better every day. One sad thing that I must mention even in this short note is that I am very unfortunate in being a HELL OF A POOR GOLFER, try as I will I cant break a hundred at all. But if persistence will do it I should for at the present time I am the poorest golfer in the California Country Club. (Being Saturday and a big game in for to-morrow morning I just happened to think of that) Hardesty, lets hear from you real soon again and when you write any of the other fellows tell them to write me. Best from Julian N. Dow
