My dear Colonel,
Thanks for your long, interesting letter of December 19th containing statements of account of Free Press sale, all of which are very full and explicit. Of course,the sale was a master stroke for yourself, Truman and myself. but, I fear, Will's political chances have not been battered by Phil's connection with-the-paper. Financially, however, the present 
owners have fine possibilities.

Thanks too, for statement showing anticipated debts of the Thum Co.  Let me leave all this to your good care.  Stephens, Berry & Thum make me ill. I hope the McMillan monument fund will find no lack of interested supporters. It deserves them. Your description of incidents leading up to the consolidation of the State & People's Banks give me a perfectly-clear understanding of the matter - the details of the public opinion as expressed in the newspaper clippings received are also interesting. I am glad to have all, glad the consolidation has gone through so perfectly, good to see the State Bank made
