Typescript letter signed Hinton E. Carr, Birmingham, Alabama, to Presley N. Hicks, St. Louis. “. . . . I have waiting the decission of the brother lawyer to whom I submitted all the facts in the Texas matter before I would give you our joint opinion on the question. He still has the matter under advisement and promises to let me know real soon. It is best, however, for me to inform you that I have gone over the whole question since writing you again and am now convinced that we have no show, the Statut of Limitations barring us. But am of the opinion that you had better dismiss the whole thing from your mind and let it go. . . .”, 1904 Mar 29
