Dear Sir-We beg to state that the
uit filed against Mr.. Riviere was re-
ally a suit against the Commercial
Hunting Club. Mr.. Riviere had re-
ally no interest in the suit. but it was
simply directed against him because
he was the keeper and the man in
possession, whereas the real defend
ants in the suit were the members of
the Commercial Hunting Club, which
club is composed of number of gen
tlemen from the city of New Orleans,
who use the club for fishing and hunt
ing purposes at week ends and any
other time they find it convenient to
come to same for pleasure and recrea-
ton.
In the beginning we believed we
had title to this property by prescrip-
ton, but after consideration OF this
matter and considering the reasonable
terms that were offered to us by you
in regards to renting the property.
we were more than pleased to avail
ourselves of the opportunity to lease
same, and therefore compromised
and settled all our differences and
entered into this lease we have with
you. Yours truly,
ADAM TORCH,
President Commercial Hunting and
Fishing Club

Crescent Gun Club.
Mr. H. P. Phillips. President Chef
Menteur Land Company, City. Dear
Sir--ln response to your request we
beg to state that the arrangement
which the Crescent Gun and Rod Club
have with you is the most pleasant
one.
When we erected our club house
we did not know who the property
belonged to and who we were to pay
rent to.
We realize that we had no right to
take mans property, erect buildings
on it, use same and force him to pay
taxes and we pay no rent.
The amount of rent we pay is ex-
tremely reasonable, and we are thor
5Ighly satisfied with the arrange
Inents we have and have not the
lightest complaint to make. Yours
very truly
