From Leon Keyserling (Oldest son), 1931

Written from Harvard Law School; muses that he cannot find a girl with brains, looks and manners; speaks of how difficult it will be to find work during Depression; re. passing the New York bar exam and potential of a clerkship in the office of Solomon Guggenheim; discusses Rosalyn, her popularity and decision to attend University of South Carolina, and Beth's work as a teacher (as well as her social life); claims that although he is quiet, he is ambitious and has a social life (apparently William needed some reassurance about this matter); more discussion of depression-era problems and lack of work; possibility of a fellowship in economics at Columbia and Oxford working with Prof. Rex Tugwell; dilemma of whether to accept the position or hold out for a job in a "first rate" law office.
