Today I am 2 years in America. How the time flies!
Len Small, for whom Leonard was electioneering, died yesterday after an operation.
He [Leonard] won a case in the Illinois Supreme Court against several big Chicago lawyers.
We are now in his new office just 2 doors from the old one but much bigger and nicer.
This week we saw the “Great Ziegfield” with William Powell and Myrna Loy. Great.
Love,
Your Trudelchen
The funeral notices and biography Len Small, who had been elected governor twice, but ran for office at least half a dozen times, tell a lot of his story. It makes me wonder why LJG supported him.
Perhaps this article sheds some light on the subject:

The rare moments in which I adore technology is when it’s a conduit for quality and touchstones that bring the past to life. Thank you for doing that and more!

Looking at the photo of Leonard Sr. in his Law office we note the sumptuousness of its surroundings given the era and decade it was taken … and then compare it to those of this day … 80 years has brought a more austere décor our way … but less ‘comfort’ of mind than one such as I would take sitting in the office of 1936 …
