trouble for us to avree on the hemn business. Lexinrton arties will 'oin
J I e P
ue and it will be to our interest al—round.
Would be glad to meet with you and Brent and have a representative from
Lexington. I think we should pay $5.oo per 1li% for #1 hemp and half
price for Tow. If we make any money we will have to quit fighting.
Would be glad to hear from you. I remain
U · Yours Very Truly,
