Dear Sir:

We have a letter from Mr. Samuel Carson dated June 14th in which he states that you were in his office, endeavoring to find a copy of "The Horse in Motion," without success, and also expressing the opinion that there is not a copy to be found in San Francisco.

We think it quite likely that this is true, and we are very sorry for it. We do not, however, feel responsible, as we pointed out to you
