MY Dear Friend Stoker:
Your kind letter just reached me

obliged and want to thank you for
your kind offer | certainly appreciate
it. / will write you as matters pro-
gress. Let me hear from you. am
your friend,

When Corbett announced recently
that he would be willing to meet job 4
son if Jeffries refused, the question CT
a side bet was in the way, and when
Mr.. Stokes heard that $4,000 would
be needed he wrote Corbett assuring
him that he (Stokes) would be ready
to post any part of the amount needed,
and Corbett's letter is in reply to his
offer.
Mr.. Stokes. who won $4,000 on Cor

van for the championship of the world
on Sept. I, 1892, at New Orleans has
all the confidence in the world in the
