Dear Paul
I got a telegram from L.A. today saying that tomorrow they would strike my case from the calendar, this indicates that they will make good & [dismiss ?] it next month. Any how it is not now set for trial so I presume there is little chance that it will ever come up again. Shall decide in a few days about going into business. Have about 25 lecture engagements for July & Aug. Will write in a few days about the Greeley deal which looks hopeful. We are back in the old place. Every one here seems glad to see me & I am beginning to feel at home.
Love to Lil
