Dear Sir:- {:I
Mr. Evans representing the Portland Coal Company is
here and is considering taking over the leases we have on the Glenn g
property at Ivel, Kentucky. He wants a proposition from you and g
Mrs. Fetter on the lands on Powell Branch, Camp Branch and back lands
so as to make from 1000 to 1500 acres of coal area of the lower I,
seem, that is the seam which runs about 240 feet elevation above the I <
railroad. If the property is still open and you all want to lease
it, make me a proposition for him, setting forth terms and conditions I}
of lease. His people want bar-product coal and as l understand from I
tests that have been made by the Kentucky Solval Coke 00., of
Ashland, Ky., the 50 inch seam is good by—product coal. Let me ‘1
hear from you immediately, or as soon as possible, as he wants to I‘
investigate the property and have some of the old openings cleaned 3
out. His people control he says some users of by—product coal
and that would guarantee a good tonnage. Thgwould want a block ‘ '1
between these points going back to Prater Creek I asmme. _

test out and find tne quality and marketable coal tuat we
want developed, after wnicn to provide for pOWeT and mucninery.

This also has reference to the matter of our

‘ participating in the stock subscription.

I trust that you have entirely recovered from the
trouble you had with your foot. :

With good wishes, and kindest regar , I am,
