My dear Frank:
In my opinion, $750.00 attorney fees for Mitchell Peak condemnation proceedings will too much as there was no litigation. When I spoke to Mr. Johnson I was really not thinking about the other lawyers, though I should have thought about them. In my opinion the bill that he has rendered should be in full compensation for his firm.
The bill will have to be returned to me before the voucher can be issued, so I return it to you.
Your friend,
