"I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A PERSON WHO KNEW SO MUCH ABOUT A SUBJECT & YET USED IT SO LITTLE."
This subject has an ability which I feel
you should know about. He has always been an avid reader of books and
newspapers. He reads for information and facts and never forgets them. Usually
he never discusses them with any one else unless he likes them exceptionally well.
He is very well informed on all matters of interest today but few people know
it.
Another thing he has studied for years,
30 or more, is geography & History. He knows every city in the U. S. &
I believe in the world of over 10,000 population & where it is, why it was
founded, what railroads go through it, industries in it, and what highways go
through. He has studied the topography of the U. S. until he knows every
mountain—river—average rainfall—kinds of crops in each locality—He knows all
the leading newspapers in the U.S. & much of their history. There isn’t a
hamlet in Okla. that he doesn’t know where it is, population, industry, roads—railroads—mountains—average
rainfall, all the former governors & when served. He has completely worn
out several large atlases and has written thousands of pages memorizing the
above things. To my knowledge they have given him great personal satisfaction
but he has never shown any desire to take advantage of this knowledge. I have never
known a person who knew so much about a subject & yet used it so little. I
have never seen a person his equal in these subjects and believe he has no
equal in Okla. Had anyone else possessed this information they would have been
called a genius.
I felt this was information you should
have.
