1935 Bill's return to New York

"Bill returns home to New York to seek a job, but his need to help other alcoholics is no less urgent. He begins to look for prospects at Towns Hospital, where he finds Hank P., an ambitious businessman who becomes his first success from Towns. Another success is Fitz M., [ see under Jim Burwell: introduction] a Southerner and the son of a minister. Both become Bill's close friends and allies."
