The reason of -the check cornering to me and in my name,.as per the statement Which you signed is as follows: In closeing the deal with Stewart,he wanted to avoid going to Pioche to deposit the money and receive his copy of the agreement,and did not want to pay'the money untill he could place the agreement imecLiatley of record,as suggested in the letter I sent you with information to be delivered to him.So I informed him that we could make out a new set of escrow instructions and I could deliver the agreement to him there and he could-pay me the money,so it was donen thusley" and had I made off with your money,you would have been left in the lurch. I suppose from your letters,that you thought | was some foolish business dealer.fell that is wllright.But f, will now ’tell you what I was after,and the same is.That I did not^H^iould be bound by anything 1 in the agreement about delivery of title,by which they could possibley" hold us for any non performance of contract,if anything should prove wrong, in the event of patenting proceedings,which it sight be necessary to take before the deal is over.And something to which the certain bunch in your city might try to snake us trouble over by protesting the patent.Sher.efore . without any agreement for later delivery of title,I proposed to make them go through the record and ascertain the status of the title for themselves, and to accept the certificates of title and the deeds,as "laced in escrow, as all they would ever get,that-is get when they had ’completed the deal by aakeiiig all of the. payments,and. by Stewart signing tie escrow instructions Stewart has approved them,so,that is thsyUSWTfreek was right in saying title had to1 be brought down to date,and it is/oiit it is brought down in.a^manner 'that we"are free from further responsibility. So- if, they had had any way of makeing the deal stand as it would have- sttod after -you changed the date,and no other arrangement made could have'bean-bad,but as it is it is allright*I would respectfulley suggest,howeveij,that you do not permit any_one^not on your side of the deal (to have you change a rarer hereafter# I rather thought they might do so. But since all of the papers - had to come back to me before they -received their cdpy,it was all O.K, dou see in their eagerness to get the deal, the j . signed the first escrow instructions' sent down with the-agreements without noticing the title was not provided for after Sept • 1919, and - if w<| had desired to try a crooked deal 'on them we could have done so.That ia they would have had to sue for title after payment was made,if we forced t-len to it.The title they -have is“good as it could lie, & , but if patent is . protected, we are free from obligation as- far as ? tit: e_ is. concerned- and they cannot stop paymets because of aTiything. that may cone up, or sue tisffor - sane I agree with your statement that we but when'/jfiliqhsayed it was all he woul< ought to hav< had a i do,and vdienlall of loose the deil if w< out.I did hold off it to.In sun ort of better deal, Ifh'e outfit, | did not take |ii long as i my statement including yourself,was afraid,we would it,it was not any good for me to stand could,under the’ circumstances and have that you,with' the others desired it to go,I herewith enclose ,, letter of the 13th. Iia.Ha.Ba.Dont get angrey if I laugh at voil a little, fou advise my takeing plenty of tine, Doij$.;. you thin!Stewart” thinks 0 did. I never at any time broak a promise with 8thwart,for when he first' came|on and made his proposition I told him I ^did riot like it and that it did not interest me.and dident talk to him about \the, deal any more whil< ne was mere, excepting that after Sam told him that he coulci bring them around, x told Si it would prepare the agreements 1 majority favored it and and But of course I,like all of 'the rest did want- it to go ;if .'Ere could not get something better.
