A rabbit. Just on the street. In New York City.

These two are writing us page-long single spaced typed letters, but I don't know who Garrison is, and why his correspondence is getting so much careful attention from Whitney. Also, why is Garrison's letter's mention of his business (poorly) redacted in La Guardia's copy? 4/? #history #finance

Whitney replies with a letter the next day, including Garrison's "esq" suffix that was not in the telegram, and including Garrison's address at 82 Beekman Street. That address is now a hospital building or parking garage, I think, but I found an old photo on the "oldnyc.org" from 1929.

Is the building in the foreground 82? Is it labeled "Printers" 3/?

Garrison's name is associated with a printing company in Manhattan, but the ongoing and detailed correspondence with Whitney begins with a radical rule change for the NYSE members. Sent Dec. 13, 1931 to Whitney's hotel in Washington, D.C. #history #stonks 2/?

Tarte flambée. Ou presque. Raclette et oignons sur pizza faite maison.

Had to take a different route to work today because of someone pulling the brake on the subway. Walked to the office from Canal Street. Got this shot on the way. Possibly one of the most New York pics I’ve ever taken. Description in alt text

Huge challah. Had to double the flour to get the texture.

Update on this. I got the file this afternoon, but hadn't gotten to look at it yet. It's really interesting. I think I may write up an article on this for a legal history journal.
Here's a little sample from a character witness:
