Dear Sir:

, Acknowledging yours of tho 9nd instant, with enclosures,
in reference to tho pIOposition to settle the suit in ?erry Circuit
Vourt of H.G. Combs v. fl & K, it is my judgment that a settlement

' at not exceeding $135.00 and costs, while probably in oxcess of
what the plaintiff is jUfimly entitled to, would be best under the
circumstances from a purely business standpoint. I chm l advise Lmssrso
. Horgan & Nuckols accordingly, with the injunction that they secure
the Very loweSt Settlement possible within the limit named.
Very truly yours,

Mr. B. D. Warfield,
District Attorney, L & N R R Co.,
Louisville, Ky.

Dear Sir:

In Re: N. G. Combs Vs L & N Railroad Co.

The plaintiff's attorney in this case was in
to see us to—day about it. He tells us that a few days
ago he had a conversation with our Mr. Morgan in which he
told Mr. Morgan that his client would accept $125.00 as
settlement in full of this case, the defendant tougayfeosts.
He tells the writer that Mr. Morgan said in‘thatneonvergztionwl
that he would recommend a settlement at that figure.

The writer knows nothing personally of this
matter, but wants to submit the prOposition to you.

The plaintiff's attorney says that unless the
matter is to be settled, his client desires to have a survey
of the land made, and wants to do that work next week.

Please let us have a reply promptly, so that the
expense of this survey may be avoided, if there is to be a
settlement.

Yours very truly,
