I 1909 JULY 24 – OCT. 19 Alexander Graham Bell LIBRARY OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL LIBRARY OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL THE BEINN BHREAGH RECORDER VOL. I 1 INTRODUCTORY Vol. 1 Beinn Bhreagh, July 23, 1909: — Now that Mr. F.W. Baldwin and Mr. Douglas McCurdy (the consulting Engineers of Beinn Bhreagh Laboratory) are at Petewawa, and likely to be absent from Beinn Bhreagh for an indefinite period, I cannot obtain their assistance in Laboratory matters unless we have some form of Bulletin to keep them in touch with Laboratory work. At the same time, I am unwilling to fetter myself by undertaking regular issues of a Bulletin; and have therefore decided to start a record book which will be issued, a few pages at a time, as convenient to me: The book to be known as THE BEINN BHREAGH RECORDER. Vol. I will be commenced at once. As in the case of the Bulletins of the Aerial Experiment Association I propose to have seven typewritten copies made at once; and distributed as decided upon. There will be no regular issue of parts: Simply a few pages will be typewritten from time to time, the pages being numbered consecutively. These will be distributed to the heads of Departments upon Beinn Bhreagh Estate, including the Laboratory, and the Aerodrome Company. The pages as Beinn Bhreagh Recorder by Alexander Graham Bell, from July 24, 1909 to October 19, 1909 http://www.loc.gov/resource/ magbell.30700101 received, will be filed in a portfolio; and, when a sufficient number of pages have been collected, they will be bound up in a volume for permanent preservation.

The only thing that has troubled me has been his absence from school.
