H:~r Mr. /gyres: -
Am mclosing statement showing r sceipts and disbursements. Believe the only thing that is at all doubtful is tho checl; to "r. Baldwin'. Shouldn’t h"vs given it to him under the circumstances, but he worried me until I gave up in self defense. 1 t'-ink I told you about giving him his chock, the.
TT ive not as yet received any money from the hotels on the : istory booklets. Dr. -Jo’ nston advanced ‘*33 to Mr. Baird to go to Beaumont and as that was the amount of his bill wo .greed tc let it rest at that.
enclosing a few small envelopes,also come 03? Magazine env lopes. I didn't mean enclose; they are going :nl. er separate cover. rk;rt you a.small supply of both largo and avail envelopes n few days ago. .Didn't know whether you. had forgotten you had asked me to send them or not. But thought I have bettor mail you wore anyway to be sure.
Am also enclosing a dozen blank checks for you tc sign. You will .- l;o find letters from Mr. Miller and Col.Fletcher which you asked for. As the letter from A. E. holer was attached to Col. Fletcher's thought you might possibly like to have it,too.
For Heaven's sake.'.' '.That am 1 going to do with all these people recommending their city for the 1323 convention? They simply pest?r me to uouth. Have one this morning from Michigan and one from Galveston. The first one of those letters (it was a telegram tho) ..as forwarded to you; and there is one attached from Birmingham, Alabama, but it is out of the question to try tc send them all to you. You'd be call '.ng me all kind's of names if I did. Please advise me.
Mould also like a little advise in regard to the statements.
In."sending out 1332 statements do I also send 1321-statements to those people who have not paid up for 1331? Suppose of course T do tho.
In one cf your letters to Mr. Colp you say T should use tougher paper in wrap'ir.g booklets. Yes, I know I should, but used the only t" ing there was in the office. Think I will go around tc sem store and price wrapping paper and if if doesn't cost much will buy a small supply. Suppose it will really be cheaper than having th booklets reach their designation badly torn.
Thought it mcrJor less amusing about the Orange election. last ep- father just came back from Orange and he said the people there were sc excited bout the oil boom there that the majority of ehem .-•■imply forgot there was sue', a thing as a bond election.
Sincerely,
T>. S. Thanks for the nice things you said in your letter of last Monday. Hope you won't be lisappointed In .... Suppose you thought from ray letter I was fishing", but I wasn't. Meant^ were you not
