Dear Sir:
Your letter Of the 21th instant Is
Mt hand. and am very glad that you
wrote to me. IA | want to be perfectly
frank and explain tho entire situation
to you.
AT the outset. | want 10 say that
there are as many people working ON
this matter as Il is humanity possible
To obtain for this purpose, and we are
expediting II as much IA we can.
There are certain reasons why II
has not been concluded more expedi-
tiously, and | want to let you know the
entire situation.
"Yuu wall recall that we obtained
title on the 3rd day OF June, and
that a month has not expired since
that time. DESPITE that fnCt. we have
settled for almost 100 houses, and
think this I'm itself shows that our Of.
forts have hcen sincere in rushing
the matter. This really means thai
we have had excluding Saturdsy VS.
twenty days To work in. and this is
an average OF almost five settlements
a day.
I'm addition TO this. there has beer
! a delay because In your deed to us
\. You have referred to the agreement
then in existence with the purchaser
: At publcsalc. mentioning them byham'
, These persons had the right unde
> their bids to assign their agreements
; and in many cases have done 30. 8
as to make. good title. In these cases

: to either have them waive this right

the title go through them. and man

failed entirely TO exercise this optiO
y and now wish 10 settle with NOR
cages. Therefore. again. In sue

Il would he very glad 20 receive al
suggestion which might occur to yc

be concluded more eXpeditiously. b'
