Los Angeles, Cal. , February 10, 1905. Dr. J.X.W.Bracken, Las Vegas, levada. Bear Sirs On January 12th. I wrote you relative to forged check of Arthur McGuire, $68.35, for which you took credit on your cash statement for the month of December. On February 1st I requested a reply to the first letter. I am now in receipt of my first letter returned bearing the following endorsement: ’’Both Mr. J.Ross Clark and Mr.Bettis have personal knowledge and correspondence in reference to this. J.K.W.Bracken.’’ I have made inquiry at Mr.Clark's office and do not find that he has any information relative to the forged check for which you have claimed credit, and I do not recollect having received any information from you relative thereto. Please write me at once fully explaining the circumstances in connection with the taking of this check, and consider that your account is charged with the amount thereof until a satisfactory explanation is received. I do not know any reason why you should receive credit for having accepted a check for $68.35 in exchange for supplies furuis ied by this company any more than an agent would receive credit when he had accepted a counterfeit or a worthless check. \ V / /1 1/ Yours truly,
