He also tried to up-date English language spelling. In 1927, for instance, he arranged a menu of Hadok, Poted beef with noodls, Parsli or Masht potato, Butr, Steamd rys, Letis, and Ys cream and added "All shud see the butiful after-glo on mountains to the east just befor sunset. Fyn vu from Golfhous porch." His given name was Melville which he changed to Melvil. Also, his middle name was Louis.
