Dear Sir:-
I  am in   receipt  of  a  communication from R.   E.
Cochrane   of  Charlotte, N. C. enclosing  a new  power  of attorney
similar to  one you executed in the year 1887,  with the request
that you and your mother and sister will execute and return to me
at your earliest convenience. I was   informed at your office that
you were in the mountains but the man in charge stated that he woul
forward this communication. After executing it please forward the
same to your mother and sister, or return to me  and let me know
where I can communicate with them. You had the copy of the original power of attorney, but for fear you may have mislaid it, I
enclose you a copy of  it. The original power of attorney was
not executed by your sister but it is now necessary that she should
execute it for the reason that Mr. Cochrane desires to sell the
property or a portion of it, of which you will receive your due
share as per agreement.
You will also notice in the new power of attorney that the
name of  Charles R. Jones is left out, he having  died several years
