[[/underlined]] Appeal by Garvin 1907: verdict reversed by Appelate Division Supreme Court: "Contract was indefinite cannot be enforced, my claim for damages is good new trial ordered". Nov 1907 I engage Isaak de Miller as additional lawyer. Jan 1908. Motion for amendment of my complaint denied by Judge Greenbaum. Appeal From this decision. Expenses for Court $35.00 ($7 for previous, $10 for Everett, & $18 for present painting) Hartfield is incompetent. He botched the complaint in omitting to make a special cause of action for quantum meruit on contingency, in valueing the same at 10000 instead of at 20,000. On the old complaint I cannot recover more than 6000, my own testimony. Hartfield is insincere, in not admitting his incompetency, He must be dismissed in time.
Transcription Notes:
legal term: theory of quantum meruit. Specific Bluemner v. Garvin lawsuit is online. "valueing" appears to be misspelled, 3rd line from bottom.
