Dear Paul;

We have begun taking the evidence and so far things look favorable; still I dont want you to think that it is sure;I am very well satisfied with the jury and the opinion is nearly universal that I will win: I am really caring very little about it but of course doing all I can It looks as if it would not take over two or three weeks more. Will keep you posted if there is any indication of importance.

C.S.D.
