She attached copy of a letter giver francis will cover, I "believe, the attitude of our Chamber.'
---To cheek was giver, to Prune ic from the chamber of Gonraexoe, as some
of gio statements of the work already accomplished,and his proiiino of what the campaign offered, mafic us feel a little skeptical. As a result, "before paying him any money, I wrote to the various chambers of commerce along the frail to corroborate his" statements, and the letters so far received in ro ly certainly do not corroborate.
• On September 10 Prone io accompanied me to the Southern Trust T Conacreo bank on' coxae other"natters, and while there I introduced him as represent ing the Old Spanish frail Association, and our Vice resident,
Jack 0. Thompson, being assured that he. was your representative v/ith proper credentials, and krowirg thru us that he was planning to establish himself •permanently In dan Diego, after I" had left, upon the request of Traneis, cached a check for him to the amount of VEOO 00 This check was dated Doptonber 13, made payable to cash, and drawn by :.v.brands on tlic Tur.k of Commoroe, Tampa, Florida for the a.ount of v200 CO Tollov/ing the appearance of Francis before our board of Directors on" dcptcubor 21, he came to see me or. September 22, and vo made arrangement o to -provide hin with photographs which he requested, and gave him desk space in the Chamber,"and the Jhair&xan of our aublicity .Corralttco went over his credentials. -Vo have not seen Francis olnoc. I'lxavo boor, in communication with the Chamber's of Commerce at Tuoooyt, FI Centro, Ytam and loo Angeles, in regard to watching for hi#, and holding him if he visits them, but so far I have received no information.
