vada Dear Sir; herewith hand
you a copy of letter from Mr.. Smith
who attended to the Goodrich Nesbitf
matter for us. Now you can look up
and easily find this amount that Good
rich paid after January TO take up the
Nesbitt's checks that came In after he
turned the account over to Goodrich.
Upon examination. our records show
that on January 7th. 1905. Nesbitt
turned over to Goodrich S23.364.S4.
that overdrew Nesbitt's account of
that date $305.39 Then on January
9Th, there was deposit made TO Mes
Ibitt's account of y1.447.6O. that left
Nesbitt's balance of s1.142.21 OF
that amount there still remains to
Nesbitt's account as treasurer $419.Si,
showing that tfteF-J january -zztth Wa
paid against Nesbitt's account to the
Eextent of 1922 40.
am enclosing you a transcript of
Nesbitt's account, which will doubt
less be OF material assistance To yDu
in closing the matter up. OF course
Nesbitt should have no balance and

lation as to the amount OF the checks
outstanding Yours very truly, Frank
Knox. president.

Frank Knox. President National Bank
of the Republic, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of the
10th inst. in regard to the treasurer's
account of Lincoln County. the basis
of settlement was made on the bal
ance of Nesbitt in your bank on the
first of January. 1905. and the cash
he had on hand on that date. Mes
bits only record of the account was
his check book and from that made
my start.
The amount of cash he had
ION hand and the balance In the book
was the amount he turned over to
Goodrich. both Nesbitt and Goodrich
preferring To- let the outstanding
checks go to you for payment. You
will doubtless remember that this
created an overdraft In January
against the account of Nesbitt's. de-
posting an official check of Good
Irich's. Ii is quite likely that at the
end of January a statement and the
lcanceled checks of Nesbitt's were
Emailed to him, and these are probably
the checks that Freudenthal Is en-
lquiring about. Trusting that you will
fully understand this explanation and
that the records win bear II out, am.
Iyours truly. X. G. Smith.
/ have had talk with Nesbitt and
Goodrich and they both practically
was one check of $23 3.362S4. and cash
to the amount of less than $1,000,
somewhere between 5000 and $1,000.
and this confirms the letter of MIR.
lSmlth in regard to the letter of set
ltlement.
AS the total of all funds amounted
to $26,5921s on the first OF January.
land this represents the amount that
should have been turned over to
Goodrich. admitting that the amount
of cash Nesbitt had turned over to
fdoodrich TO be sl.ee0, together with
THE check Of So. .ssa.s4. the settlement
then would have been $2.2ss.s4 short
lof what II should have been.
/ Admitting that the amount turned
lover by NesbItt to Goodrich was one
lcheck OF s2s.se2.s4 aud $1,000 in
Icash. the deficit from January 1st to
August sth. 1906. VIII amount to 81.
