Miss Alice C Fletcher

Washington D.C.

Dear Miss Fletcher,

Please pardon me for not giving your letter prompt attention. 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
