Gunter Hotel,San Antonio,Texas May 17th, 1929c Mr. Julius jDupont, President, Louisiana 03T Division, Houma, Louisiana. Dear Julius: T did not read that circular letter of April 29th while at Houston, I found letters and gopies when I returned to 3an Antonio. I believe your explanations to me that Gill is doing these things. Nevertheless your name is attached to that letter "Approved: Julius Dupont, President Louisiana Division, OST ass'ii." Putting out such false statements is a serious matter. They will not "bo allowed to pass without being repudiated or forced to proof on the allegations. I enclose copy of letter filed with us branding the statements respecting west Texas as false. Sen Antonians will take care of the charges of misuse of funds. You can clear yourself by publicly repudiating the statements. 1 hope you can do this. You will see by the en- closed I have 1 eft this opportunity open to you in as friendly a way as possiblo in view of the seriousness of the charges. Sincerely, HA :B Harral Ayres, Managing Director,
