Here is a letter from Leonard to his brother Arnold. Len finds it hard work to break into the New York accounting and records market, and is planning to start to do sales himself. The train ride from Madison, New Jersey, to New York City takes a little over an hour on New Jersey Transit today, but runs under the Hudson River to Penn Station. The Lackawanna Railroad went only to Hoboken Terminal, where ferries took passengers across the Hudson River to lower Manhattan, yet Len says his commute to downtown Manhattan is less than an hour and faster than the subway trip from Rockaway in Queens Borough.
