FltzsimmonS is kicking on the rules, just
as I said he would. I dont want 10 say
anything until I know just what he OBJ
jeCts TO IN particular.
An I care about il is 60 keep Fitzsim-
mons from getting any undue advan,
taEe. ] want nothing myself that I am
not willing 10 Conce6e to him. and there
is no use Of my telling Siler that agree
10 "a thing or object 20 q thing until I
know what Fizsimmons is making kick
about

sort and so long as the men are satisfied.
do not care what the agreement IS.
