New Orleans, May 3. '58.
My dear Elliott:
The Sewanee mining Co: at
your suggestion have extended the
time at which we shall begin
active operations from 2{underlined}, to 3{underlined} years{underlined}
This is better no doubt & will give
us all we are likely to want.
I have written Mr Fogg to look
carefully to the drawing of the con-
veyance as to the reservation of the
slip on each side the road-way.
This he will attend to. In a letter
from him / Mr F / he deeply regrets
the omission of your name among
the coporations in the act & gives
it to be understood that he w'd
rather omitted that of any other
on the list, it was the work of the
engraving clerk, but is of no con-
sequence of course & is merely clerical.
