We had a death in our family, having lost my father, and I have had very little time to spare for the past two weeks. I am sorry to say that the Burner Company is still in a dormant condition owing to lack of capital. I am using my personal fund, however to hold the plant in hope of securing or interesting Capital necessary to operate it. Regretting I cannot send you more encouraging news, Yours very truly [[signature]] L J Pappie [[/signature]]
