Dear General:-

Your letter received. I wrote to Governor Higgins at the time it was made public that a bill had been introduced into the legislature, proposing to create the position in question, that I would like to bespeak his consideration of you if the measure became a law and told him briefly of your strong qualifications, but informed him that I was writing without your knowledge and if there were political reasons why he could not consider you not to feel the least embarrassment in letting me know. To this he made a very friendly reply stating that if the bill became a law, he would be glad to consider your name. C.M.D. also wrote him, but I do not think it is necessary to withdraw these letters as you have made no application and I think I would let the matter rest just as it stands and if anything further comes up, I can write the Governor that you have decided not to make any application for the position.

With love to Aunt Laura and Richenda, I am,

Dear General:-

Your letter reached me Sunday and I wired you Sunday night that we would furnish 3,000 copies, 60 pages, size of your dummy for $240. We will use for the body of the pamphlet 10 point, a sample of which I enclose herewith, and print the list of graduates in 6 point, or nonpareil, and in that way I figure we can get it all in 60 pages in good shape. I have figured on using an enameled paper of the weight of your dummy, but if it were not for the cuts we could use an eggshell finish at a smaller cost and be equally as satisfactory in appearance. With the cuts we better use the enameled stock. For the cover, I can give you the same quality as was used on the sample but not exactly the same color. If you want us to go ahead, I will put the matter in type promptly and submit you proofs and we can then deliver the job for shipment to Carlisle soon after the return of the proofs. I trust the price named will be satisfactory and that we may have your order.

I congratulate you and Aunt Laura on the pleasant trip ahead of you and trust all will go well in Denver.
