Hon. S. C. Pomeroy,

No. 1339-K St. N.W.

Dear Sir:

As one of the Attorneys in behalf of the widow of the
late Ambrose W. Thompson, I desire to submit a proposition to you
in the hope that the persons interested in the Chiriqui claim in
Costa Rica may agree upon terms of settlement. When you are in
the neighborhood of my office I hope you will find time to call.

I have given directions for Mr. McConico's letter to me in
regard to the $100.000. of stock in the Honduras Railroad for you
and I, to be looked up and send to you. Absence from my office ex-
plains why I have not earlier replied to your note.
