He gives him weather information for the return Chicago to New York path finder flights on September 9, 1918. He sends the telegram at 1:24 p.m. in sunshine and notes that light southerly winds are probable for Ohio which is fair and warmer with moderate southerly winds. He wires that all is ready at the Glen L. Martin Field in Cleveland.
