Telephone: 4563 Cortlandt.  New York, March 23rd, 1894
W,  West Durant,   Esq.,
45 Broadway,  New York   City.
Dear Sir: ~
When I called at your office some  ten days
ago I had no idea of intruding myself upon you but only desired to
ascertain what you really desired to know in regard to the power
of attorney and the interest in the property in North Carolina for
the power of  attorney which I left with you fully explained what
your interest in the property was, arid your letter written some
time since to me did not state what you really required in spite
of your assertion to the contrary. I knew nothing about the property myself except the fact that there was certain property down
there which Mr. Cochrane has, as I supposed, recovered, and to
which you and your mother and sister were entitled to a half interest, as stated in the power of attorney. I wrote to Mr. Cochrane to write me fully in regard to the property and I would enclose his letter to you, so that you could see the pecuniary benefit was to be derived by executing the power of attorney.
