- Your le tter of 31 L111... aim eno losuretthLtrwiwz is reoeived ,
and noted.
I Dare folly cozmidered the same, together with the original
copy Bent mo heretofore, and the more I consider the game the more ~
~ convinced I am that this is a. property controlled by £30136 local and
outside interoota, in connection with which we have contracts. The
only point of variance is that our people have not spent :,.), 200,000
or anything like that on the gunporty, ”out in all other reppecta.
incluriha the price, it fully meets the aesoription. If ii‘tit the.
same property, I harm had the: same under ocznsiuerution with iitts~
burg, oleveland, Cl'xioago and other interests and thaw far have been
unable to do anything; with it; and. do no ’i; believe that. the propo-
sition can be handled at the present time. ‘
Hovmver, it; might be well to arm out the oiizmr follow some,

give him all tne facts as I had gathered them.

Will notify you in advance of the day I em to leeve
here. If we can essist you in any way, will be pleased

Dear Judge:-

We are'in eip f letter from Mr. Wiard, advising that
Judge Sanford wi de ' r his Opinion in the Goodrich-Lockhnrt Co.
case on Tuesday t.

I am at‘a 0 know just what step to take myself relative
to the same. Our term of aI'TFCt court convenes here Monday morning,
and we have several case. \~ appearance docket for Honday and
on the equitable appear JLet for Wednesday that makes it very
essential to be here at . r’ e. ‘qually, I have some parties
from Richmond, Va., coming ere Mfiv9\ rmght, incident to the clos-
ing of a gas deal involving the - @of the additional gas for the
city of Louisville, out of whi‘§’\\‘m‘; have a most substantial prof
it. I Just returned from Louisv lle : t evening, and had endeavored//
to get the matter fully closed down there, t some of the parties a
in interest were unable to come to Louisvi , and the matter has v’
been passed to Prestonsburg, with engageme their arrival on
Monday evening. Further, I have tentsti engagement for lionday
with some Chicago parties relative to a a1 operation and additiond.
acreage, but subject to further advise as to the some.

Father is at Maysville for medical treatment, covering a ser-
ious trouble with.one of his feet, which makes it difficult for him
to be moving around, as well as other troubles of a rheumatic and
diabetic nature. I am forwarding to him today copy of Mr. Wiard's
letter, and also of this letter to you. I am not expecting_him at
home for sometime, and really was wanting to keep him away during
the entire term of this coming court, so that he would not be both-
ered with the court work.

It is a matter practically impossible for him to be at Frank-
fort on Tuesday. For me it will be most incdnvenient, and may delay
me for several weeks in arranging other engagements relative to prop-
ositions ready for closing. Please give us the benefit of your best
thought as to whether, in your Judgment, it is essential or neces-
sary for one or both of us to be precast at the time of the read-
ing of the opinion and as to whether it would prejudice the case in

" any way by our absence.
With best wishes,
