March 18th, 1896.

Mr. C. O. Murphy,
204 Broadway,
New York City.

Dear Sir:-

Referring to the certificate for five shares of the (Parent) Capital Stock of the Rogers Typograph Company, left me yesterday. Upon investigation, I find that this certificate for five (5) shares, par value $100.00 per share, can be exchanged for 150 shares of the capital stock of the Rogers Typograph Co’y par value ten dollars per share, $1,500.00. From the proceeds of the sale of the plant of the Rogers Typographic Company is the Morgenthaler Company, a ten per cent (10%) distribution was made to the Rogers Typographic Company stockholders. This was the basis upon which settlement was made with me for the stock I held in the Rogers Typographic Company, and if you wish to make a settlement on the same basis, and will write me to that effect, I will take pleasure in having check for $150.00 mailed to you, being 10% of the par value of the stock of the Rogers Typographic Company which you will receive in exchange for the five shares of parent stock.

Yours truly,
Charles L Freer
 
P.S. Sorry you did not come to my house last summer. Do better next time. CLF
