will abide by your decision.
Mr. Anderson advises me that
it would have been much better to
have had money and billspayed paid pass
through the company. This information
would have been helpful a week ago
but arriving yesterday it didn't serve
much purpose. It however led me
to wire suggestion to pay balance of
account in Vancouver.

I am sorry to have caused
you so much worry about the outfit
but the way things went it was
unavoidable.

Judge Lomen is anxious to
know whether you know of anyone
to whom a good reindeer investment
would appeal. He is trying to raise
one hundred thousand. Address him Hotel Frye,
