At the time of the
striking of oil, Red Purnell said to me that the "oil would agree
with Sina," and it has). If ever I saw an adventurer for a rich
widow, he is it. She is about 75 and he is 12 years younger than
she. Therefore he will outlast her, in all probability. I doubt
if he has ANY business, but says he is a sort of artist; sells
pictures or something like that. Says he will be having an
exhibit soon in New Orleans and southern cities. For a wedding
present he gave her two pictures--God knows what they are. I
think I probably saw them but am confused with the multitude of
objects he showed hanging all over HER house. She takes all that
stuff in like a real soldier. I have seen four flushers in my
time--but he is tops in my opinion.
This new husband talks a blue streak and he fails utterly to
speak illy of himself. To be truthful, I was amazed the way he
talked. Maybe the highlight--if there could be a highlight in his
conversation--went something like this. On the grand piano
(Sina's) was a small picture in a sort of glass rope frame. We
think the picture was named "Blowing Bubbles." Anyway, it was one
of Hitler's favorites and Bro. Hitler kept it on his desk. In
some miraculous way, this new husband of Sina's got hold of it.
