THE BOND WHEELWRIGHT COMPANY
April 3rd, 1956

Melvin C. Robbins, Esq.
Benjamin, Galton and Robbins
21 East 40th Street
New York, N.Y.

Dear Mr. Robbins:

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 27th in reply to my letter of February 21st to Mr. Germain Seligman.

There is much that has gone on in our correspondence and in personal conversations, one point in particular which I neglected to point out in my letter of February 21st and so do here. This is that at the point of time after the two companies, Bond Wheelwright Company and Bond Wheelwright Publications Inc., had in effect ceased operations and with the past indebtedness left to the fates of the courts, we did agree and have planned and will pay royalties on books sold which are within our legal power to do so.

To this extent Mr. Seligman is due to receive a check for approximately $65.00 in addition to the $40.71 he has already received, and an estimated amount of $95.00 if and when the Riverside Press is so disposed to remitting this amount to us. Since the printers are owed the largest sum of money, in bankruptcy their seizure of all of the assets would have meant remitting to other creditors an even less amount than we now are able to pay.

As is stated in the statements of the two companies, and as I pointed out to Mr. Seligman in my letter of February 21st, these two corporations are now legally out of business. Should you have any questions as to the legal aspects I can refer you to Mr. Eugene Blanc, Jr., of Delafield, Marsh and Hope, 15 Williams Street, New York, who with Mrs. Dorothy McCrea and the firm represented us in our litigation with the Borden Company. For further legal reference as to the final disposition of assets of the Bond Wheelwright Company (an Illinois corporation), I can refer you to our Portland attorney, Mr. Robert Preti, 51 Exchange Street, Portland.

Very sincerely yours,
Bond Wheelwright
