Dear Mr. Green:

It was a special pleasure to me to hear your address
before the Dade County Bar Association at hiami a few weeks
ago, and to have the opportunity of meeting and talking with you I
after the conclusion of t e meeting.

l

I can well understand the high regard you are held
both by labor a d wanagnent and was paticularly pleased with '
with the information you mentioned in your address that such
a small percent of the men contacted lith your Union were
unconnected in strikes.

by I say that I wish there were more leaders for
labor like you and that I hope to have the pleasure of see-
ing you at different times in the future.

Ly best personal wishes.

Very truly yours,
Joseph D. Harkins

Mr. Joseph D. Harkins 4
Attorney at Law
Prestonsburg, Kentucky
Dear Sir:

I am enclosing original and one copy of agree-
ment between you and others and Kentucky West Virginia
Gas Company, extending the term of all leases which have
not been automatically extended by production, and
ratifying and approving our agreement as to the consoli-
dation of your Tract HB-65 with Kentucky West Virginia
Gas Company Tracts 3-119 and 3-210, and your Tract HF-ll
with Kentucky West Virginia Gas Company Tracts 3-112 and
3-173-

If this agreement as prepared meets with your
approval, kindly have it executed by the parties of the
first part, and return both copies to me. After it has
been executed by the Company, I will return it to you for
the necessary proceeding incident to its approval by the
Judge of the Floyd Circuit Court.

I have not yet prepared the new lease covering 1
the Mud Creek tract and the Bull Creek tract, due to the
fact that the dead from wright to Mrs. Barkins did not
set out any acreage. If you have the acreage in the
tract, will you kindly write me setting out the acreage
and stating whether or not the acreage set out is the
full acreage or the amount of acreage owned by Mrs.
Harkins. If you do not have the acreage and have a sur-
veyed description of the tract, and will forward it to
me, I will have it plotted to determine the acreage.

As soon as this information is received I will prepare
the lease and forward it to you.

Yours very truly,

E. E. Clark, Land Agent

Kentucky Hesleyan College _
Xinchester, Kentucky

Dear iir. Touell:

On my return to the office afterHten days absence I
find your letter of November let.

' Luch as I would like to do so. I do not see that it
would be convenient or possible for me to either add to the
pledge that I have made, or to anticipate the payments of
the balance of the pledge within the period of time mentioned
by you.

It so happens that my income is substantially fixed and
likewise that my disbursements are substantially fixed and mea-
sured with reference to income.

1 have an expensive office to maintnin and the expense
will provably increase after the first of the year. 1 am faced
with making a contribution to our fraternity at Centre College.
to the hospital at ,ikeville, a small contribution to the pro-
posed iaptiet Hospital complimentary to one of my friende, as
well as my regular contributions to the many different churches
here in Floyd County and other organizations to which I make
regular contributions. If some condition should arise whereby
I can make an additional contribution to the Kentucky Jesleyan
College, I will then be more than glad to do so.

my very best personal regards. _

Sincerely yours,
Joseph D. Herkins
