Miss Dorothea A. Dreier,
C/o Hope & Company,
Amsterdam, Holland,

My Dear Dorothea:-

Enclosed is notice from Galena-Signal Oil Company in regard to a fraction of a share, # F-8538 - 559 190 - 983383 rds of the common stock, which I have put to-day in your box with your other shares. Please make a note of this in your book.

At the same time I took out the enclosed certificate, # F 1618, for 59 900 - 983383 share of the Continental Oil Company, which is to be exchanged for ten times the amount in the new Continental Oil Company, as explained in the enclosed letter from the company. Please endorse this, and return it to me as soon as possible, when I will attend to it for you.

As you know, the Pennsylvania has issued some new rights, and I have received the warrants from the trust company for you. The only thing you can do with them is to subscribe, which I have arranged for, and in order to save time, enclose an irrevocable stock power to have as many of these transferred as you wish to sell. I have made this latter out in pencil, as I cannot now tell just how it will have to be made out, and when we get it back from you we will fill it out correctly in ink, as after you have once signed it, it would not do to make a change in ink. I would suggest buying the 27 shares, which with the 733 you now have, will give you 760. These 27 shares will cost $1350.00, and if you decide to do that, when you return the power send me a check for 30% of that, or $405.00. [[left margin]] (405.-) [[/left margin]]

As I wrote you yesterday, I have received a check from Naylor, Benzon & Co. for the Vickers transaction, for which your share will amount to about $850.00. This is less than I expected, but which I will explain to you when I write my letter about it within the next few days. This, you will see, will give you enough, so that you will have to add only $500.00 more, which I understand you can do, as you did not take any of the American Telephone bonds. [[right margin]] (500.-) [[/right margin]]

This check from Vickers I will deposit for you some day this week, so you will be able to draw against it by the time this will reach you.

I hope I have made everything clear.

Your brother, Edw.

If you subscribe for 27 shares & sell the balance, you will get from $200.- to 230.-, so you would have to use only less than $300.- more instead of the 500.- mentioned above. 

Have you mailed me a check for Great Northern?
