Herewith 1 enclose you letter received from .TaccrRoth of Chicago,Letter from the Eurea of Mines,Washington. Copy of letter T have this day mailed A.L.otewart,and will say also t-at 1 yesterday Mailed to Mr Roth a letter wherein I told him we could not vive him an answer untill about the 5th inst,but that if they desired to proceed rtith the purchase to wire me at once upon receipt of the letter I was sending,but come to think of it I have copy of my letter to him’,which i also enclose herewith. Something near a year a go,we agreed that if Roth could finite us a purchaser we would take $150,000 for the property,and wrote him to that effect,and told him that any commiss ion he got out of it he won# nave tu arid to that amount,he replied saying he could sell It,blit wanted the price fixed at $200,000,and for us to protect him and his associ*tes in the $50,000,and after tiling him we would take the $150,000 I could not very w-1 change the price,for the deposit,so | to^d him that,in the event of ^heir selling the property for the $2n0,nC0 w0nid have tc give me, individually $10,000 out of the $50,000,end'*that T could then protect them in the $**0,000,my letter to him will sh ow how the matter stands at present, ^-t was not my intention to claim the $10,000 for myself,"hut seeased it would work company out $10,000 morefor the With reference to these Chicago people,unless we have got, something good we would better not turn them down,because if we can once get the on the ground there will be a mighty good chance to sell to t*em for isosn/®t heoyth ewri llp ripcaey tihn< thei, <5 envent we v,nnot get the $200,000 and the point j-f they take hold,which is what we want and zaLght.j.y badely to.
