594 (X) Aug. 2/98. Mr. Edward A. Gott, 70 Griswold St., City. My dear Mr. Gott: I have been called to New York and am leaving for that city at six o'clock to-night and am not likely to return before the early part of next week. In the mean time, I am writing you my decision in connection with the proposition you made me a few days ago in order that you may not be delayed in your negotiations with others during my absence. After having thought the matter over carefully, I am satisfied that the possibilities of the business are even greater than named by you, and for any one seeking an investment a better opening would be hard to find. A day or two ago another matter was offered to me which was too attractive to refuse, and I invested in it all the funds I shall have to spare this year. I have made it a rule for some years to borrow no money and I would not care to change my practice now, consequently I must refrain from joining you in the enterprise. I have no doubt you will find others equally desirable, and wishing you every success in the business, I remain, Yours sincerely, Charles L Freer
