                <p>We are in receipt of the contracts,<ref target="n.dat00549"/> which are satisfactory to us and you may expect the check in a week or ten days along with your copy.<ref target="n.his00067"/> Our delay in closing up this has been due to my time being so greatly consumed in the completion of  our forth coming production, "The Gunsaulus Mystery,"<ref target="n.lit00610"/> which will be shown at the Temple Theatre, four days beginning May 2nd., and if you would bear this in mind and take the time to go and see the same, it is a fair demonstration of our ability to produce pictures.<ref target="n.pla00540"/></p>

                <p>Assuring you that you may expect to hear from us as set forth above, we are</p>
