Mrs. Mary D. Donahey, 5808 Winthrop Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
My dear Mrs. Donahey:

I fear you are beginning to put me in the same class with Frank Counts, in that I have n't reported any progress in the Chester Cliffs property. I confess that the fault has been mine for several weeks, because at least that long ago Frank told me that he would go out with me any pleasant afternoon and look the ground over. He said further that he had convinced Eula that they had made a mistake in selling out, that they ought to have stayed in the club until it was finally dissolved, and he expressed his willingness to do the right thing. I spoke to him this morning, but he was in court and we made a tentative arrangement for tomorrow and if he is not in court and I am out of court, and the weather is pleasant, we will drive out and look the ground over. He has been bothered with cold and neuritis, and I have n't been any too robust myself, and up until this week the weather has been very unfavorable. I hope to have something to report to you in a few days.

I hope you and Bill are well and continue in your prosperous career. My family are all well and working as hard as ever.

With my best regards and those of the family to you both, I remain

Yours very truly,
