My dear Scott:
I have in my hands the Cincinnati ﬁotes with
directions to "bring the suit at once'. laxwell & Ramsey ,
attorneys, Cincinnati, frOm whom the claims comea,direct that
the action be brought in the Federal Court against yOu and
your Mother,seeking personal judgment and subjection of the
thirty-six shares of the capital stock of the Graham Coal & Min-
ina 00mpany. They singleﬂ yOu two out for the reason that ;ou
are Lee only ones liable on both notes,aud the efore the only
ones liable for a sufficient sum to give federal jurisdiction.
I feel that it will be lmpGSSlDle to procure their
consent to any delay in starting the action and am hardly in
position to ask them to do so unless I can submit to them some
positive assurance of the payment of the whble of both notes.
Suppose I go on and ﬁlle the suit with the under-
standing the; no default proceedings will be taken until after
the expiration of thirty days?
With very kindest regards, I an
Yours very truly,
GEM/M ,
