Capt R. B. [R ?]
Dear Sirs,

Enclosed you will
find letter from [Soap ?] & Co
I wrote to them - that if
they would pay $500.00 and
recognize your legal rights
under your patent, a lawyer
could be avoided.
I wrote in kind and respectful
terms. They reject our proposition,
but want to talk it
over. What shall we do?
as our court here begins next
Monday I have no time "to
call upon them". Show this
