Thanks for particulars of the Yaeger mine, and for the step you took in my behalf. I am entirely satisfied with what you did to tide matters over --- I can see no other alternative under existing conditions. I am glad, too, of the increase of salary given Mr. Hargreaves. He is worth it and more. Kindly gave him my regards whenever you have a chance.

With all good wishes,

Yours sincerely

Charles L. Freer
