official confirmation
at the earliest possible moment. Here again I don't understand what we are waiting for. When I saw you in June you told me that steps were to be taken to dissolve the corporation, and I proceeded immediately. René told me he needed powers of attorney, and I believe within two or three days after my return to New York they were mailed to you. Why it should take now two months to receive from you ratification of the steps taken is beyond my understanding. As I wrote previously it would look as if every suggestion I were to make was to be systematically blocked, and as far as I can see we have never gained anything on the contrary by just waiting and waiting.

EXCHANGE: Since writing you the above I have decided not to send to Peck the letter to Tuot and the Office des Changes, as I first want to obtain your acceptance of this exchange, and if you agree with me I will then write the application to the Offices des Changes.
