March 9, 1905.
Mr. F. W. Farnham,
Maltine Co.,
Brooklyn, N.Y.
My dear Frank:
Benedict informed me today that he had sold 100 shares of U.T., 2nd Preferred, for me at $120, and would send you a check for $12000. Since dictating this line, Mrs. Griffin says you telephoned that you had received the check and would send a Maltine check for me to sign tomorrow. I presume she misunderstood you and that you intend to send my check to pay the loan the Maltine Company made me. I was going to write to you to do this rather than to pay the Worcester Salt Company, which can stand for the present just as well as not. Ward wrote the other day that the last $5000 note of the Maltine Co. would be due about this time. I suppose you intend to pay that and thus take the Maltine Company entirely out of debt.
Mrs. Griffin said you wishes to see me for a few minutes. Suppose you drop over here tomorrow between eleven and twelve.
Yours very sincerely,
