Correspondence from Henry W. McCray to Mr. Jack

My dear Mr. Jack:- I have received the same letter from the Dr. + have just answered him today that he does not know what he is talking about, + that it ought to be an easy matter for his principals or trust company to send the right word to some bank here + see how much ginger would be put into it + not to filibuster + bluster. Was in no mood to answer. Am afraid that he is only being monkeyed with back there + will not be the first fiddler in a financial sense. He has chased all over the country himself letting it out. I believe in staying with the Dr. to the last - but you are correct to double up. The Independent man wants to meet the Dr. + in the past month I have written to the Dr. twice when + where he could meet the party but so far he has not answered - I fear he wants the whole cheese which has been the principal cause of failure for this thing in the past. In my letter today I ask the Dr. why he has not answered me in reference to meeting a party interested in the same project. I hope to write you at an early date as to the strength of the other party.
