My dear Karrol:
Mayor Bea has just handed me your letter under date of August 22nd with reference to Mr. J. V.r. Francis. Mr. Francis has rsady called -upon us and I Believe went as far Hast as Lake Charles.
In order to indicate that our heart is in the right spot I enclose a copy of the agreement which we were to execute with him, hut owing to delay in securing President Stark's signature, the original copy was never delivered to Mr. Francis.
Our Board of Directors passed a motion instructing me to hold up further action in the matter until the situation has been cleared .
