Dear Paul

I have been writing you rather persistently about trying to sell. I dont mean for you to act against your judgment or to give the thing away. I have felt that Connelly was such a good friend of yours that it might be got as right as it might be done through [?] or Jacobs but of course I want you to act for the best. I would feel easier if you had a good amount of securities or something in place of the plant, but you know best[.]

Hastily
