Trenton, NJ, August 4, 1908

Dear Pop: My history since 1897 has been neither exciting nor romantic, and it hardly seems worth while to take up space in the Record of the "Great and Glorious" to recount my prosaic doings. From 1897 to 1904 I was a member of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. The business was very agreeable to me in more ways than one, but I met with an accident to my ankle which put me on crutches for several years. Thinking that this injury would be permanent, I sold my seat and withdrew from business, but in several years the ankle recovered, and I then turned my attention to real estste in Trenton, and have been so engaged to the present time. A number of exrensive trips through Europe and America have given me very great pleasure, and kept me in touch with the big, wide world through which we are now all scattered.

Yours very truly,

James W. Rusling
