Mr. Kennelworth was also very enthusiastic about Lindbergh's flight
across the Atlantic, and told Robert that he contemplated going to New
York to be there for the reception when Lindbergh returned, and that
he wanted to visit Walter and see how he was getting along anyway.
So Robert tendered his resignation to Mr. Kennelworth to take place
on May 31, 1927. Mr. Kennelworth accepted the resignation with the
understanding and promise from Robert that if anything went wrong or
he should lose his money or meet with disappointments in New York, he
would immediately return and assume his old position. Robert thanked
him for his kindness and told him that he would feel free to call on
him but that he felt he would never have to return to take up the
position again. In view of his discoveries of the cycles in the Bible,
he could make money in the market, but his object was not alone to make
money for selfish purposes, but to use it to benefit others and for the
protection of his country at the time of the coming great war which
would be fought in the air.
On Sunday, May 22nd, Robert wrote to Marie:
My dearest Marie,
The past week has been a great one for us, and yesterday, the 21st, was
the greatest day in history. Lindbergh, the lone aviator, crossed the
Atlantic and landed safely in Paris. Wheat, corn and cotton went up and
we made more money. Profits are piling up fast, and I will soon have
plenty of money to build my airplane.
I had a long talk with Mr. Kennelworth yesterday afternoon after we
received the news of Lindbergh's flight, and resigned my position, to
take place on May 31st. Expect to go to New York some time in the early
part of June, and of course I want to take you with me as my wife. With
the profits we now have made in the market, there will be no trouble
about us getting along all right in New York and I am sure that I am
going to make a lot more money.
Cotton is going away up in the early part of June and wheat is going
very high in the latter part of May and early June. I will sell out and
take some of my profits so we can get started in good shape. Will see
you next Sunday and talk the matter over and plan the best way.
Your love and faith has sustained me thus far and helped to make me
the success that I am, and with that love, there is no height which I
cannot reach.
I love you more than ever. You are all and everything to me.
Lovingly,
Robert.
