Bank of Hamilton Bldg., July 31st, 1923.

John R. Bone Esq., Managing Editor, The Toronto Daily Star, King St. W., City.

Dear Mr. Bone:-

I have just this moment received your letter of even date, and am quite agreeable that you should send to Harold Noice, c/o Lomen Bros., Nome, Alaska, a telegram reading exactly as the draft contained in your letter with the addition of these words:

"Continue sending all private information to me Toronto”

With this addition the message may be signed "A.J.Taylor" and sent at once.

I understand that you get a very much lower rate than is available to me, and it seems to me that the cost of this message should be properly borne by the American Newspaper Alliance rather than by Mr. Noice, but if they feel otherwise, then I will pass for payment a bill for the cost involved.

Please send me a copy of the telegram as it goes to Mr. Noice, and oblige,

Yours sincerely,
