Shreveport, La. Jan 2-1927 Last night talked for an hour with Tress and Sprouse who is working for himself. Mr. Tress is with the Shremble Co. Both are Eastern- ers Texas from New Jersey and Sprouse from Baltimore. Spent all the morning with Sprouse and Tress in the former's office, talking on my crops Harriss and the geology of Guatemala and Belize visited by Sprouse about a year ago. Learn't a good deal about the leading domes of Harriss. In the afternoon and evening worked on my crops and correcting the things learned in the morning. Then Sprouse took me in his car for a drive for 1/2 hours. In the evening worked on my crops again.
