Sir
   Yours of 17th came to hand yesterday, and in reply I would say that our intention is to trace the money packaged of which you speak to it's ultimate recovery, or make it good but our business has been light during the past few months in that region, and one of the partners is still absent in the north, and hence I have not the power to liquidate the claim until we get a monied partner, into our firm, which we have been negotiating to do.
