An appeal has also been taken from the "Opinion of Wallace S. Gourley, Chief Judge," filed June 30, 1954, D.C., 122 F. Supp. 560. That opinion was filed contemporaneously with the entry of an order by Chief Judge Gourley, and we will treat the aforesaid reference to an "Opinion" in the notice of appeal as a typographical error because, manifestly, the appellants intend to appeal from the order.
Appellants introduced into evidence a letter from Riddlesburg to Waldo and Maltby, Inc., written a short time before Waldo and Maltby, Inc., received the assignment from Union. Appellants contend that this letter indicates that Riddlesburg intended that Waldo and Maltby, Inc., should hold the original mortgage as security for advances made by Waldo and Maltby, Inc., or for any other indebtedness due to Waldo and Maltby, Inc. This contention was vigorously disputed before the special master, who concluded, after hearing oral evidence, that the letter did not express such an intention. Problems raised concerning this letter and the oral evidence used as an aid to interpretation of the letter are immaterial since, even if the letter was an attempt to alter the clear meaning of the original mortgage indenture, and, assuming that it met Pennsylvania requirements for a valid mortgage (which it did not), it was not effectual to create a lien on the debtor's property because it was not properly recorded.
