Correspondence on Lemmond Mine, Union County, North Carolina, part 2, 1854-1894

leo00084-53page1

COPY.
January 27h, 1894.
Messrs. Otterbourg, Jenks &  Springs,
280 Broadway,
New York City.
Gentlemen:-
Your favors, the last dated the 2nd of January,
1894, in which you ask me to execute a power of attorney to
R. E. Cochrane, of Charlotte, North Carolina, were duly received, 
but, owing to absence, illness and other reasons, I have not
been able to answer them before now.
I see no reason why I should not execute a power of
attorney to Mr. Cochrane, so far as any interest I may have
in the North Carolina mining property is concerned; but I can
only lay the matter before my Mother, and forward a power of
attorney to her and to my sister, Mrs. Frethey, leaving it
for them to do as they think best in the matter; but, before
doing anything, I would like to have a statement as to what
benefit is to be derived by those whom you desire to execute
the power of attorney.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) W. West Durant.
