(Q) Should [
257] remain in St. Louis through the 12th as
informed, and what should he do yet?
(A) There has been much accomplished by the contacts as have
been made respecting the proposition in hand. While the
attorneys, bankers, may declare it necessary that the other
party be in the position of declaring self - and it IS
necessary, for signature and sanction - yet through these
very ones that the body has already talked with will this be
consummated, or brought to the proper conclusion. Hence the
stay is only necessary through that period when the body
[
257] is satisfied that there is a thorough understanding and
agreement between those that may handle same and self.
(Q) What is Curran's opinion of [
257]? and can he be
expected to help in the matter?
(A) We have no Curran - We have no Curran!
(Q) Was Mr. Hammett impressed with the Cayce information?
and how does he feel on the points told him about? Can
Hammett be trusted?
(A) Hammett can be trusted in so far as it is of Hammett's
interest!
(Q) Was he impressed with the Cayce information?
(A) In so far as it interests, and may be of interest to
Hammett!
(Q) What will the result be from the conference held with
Mr. Hammett?
(A) Depends upon the last conference that is held by the
body with Hammett - today!
(Q) What is the opinion that Hammett holds for [
257]?
(A) As given, through these channels there may come about
the proper negotiations and the proper way in which this may
be handled. As for the opinion - these may change, and while
at present - an interesting, and the conditions are such that
they may be MADE to become worth while.
(Q) Should [
257] see Holliday, who is the new attorney for
Grove?
(A) That dependent upon what the bankers' opinions are upon
Hammett's advice?
(Q) What will be the result of the conference with Orr?
(A) That depends upon the approach and upon the conditions
through which the body may act. As has been given, easy is
it to say too much. As the body recognizes - [
257] we are
speaking of - there are many interests to be considered in
such an undertaking. Not an easy thing for such an
undertaking to be moved entirely from out a district without
causing a great deal of comment - moving out meaning, not the
physical but the financial and the returns in many channels
other than purely physical.
(Q) Should [
257] submit proposition in writing as suggested
by Hammett?
(A) Don't put it in writing! until there is more declared.
Let Hammett put that that he me DO in writing - then there
will be more opportunity, for if he desires to put in writing
- let him put HIS in writing!
(Q) Should [
257] put proposition in writing as suggested by
Orr?
(A) If Orr will make a proposition, or counter proposition
and include it in same, it may be - to Orr.
(Q) Did [
257] handle business with Orr at the bank properly?
(A) Very good.
(Q) Can he be depended upon for help further?
(A) Provided there are enough promises made to Orr to make
it worth while!
(Q) Has [
257] seen everybody that he should? What should he
do next?
(A) Get in touch with Grove!
(Q) Personally?
(A) Personally! Best to be approached socially. Go to the
place where he is and then meet him!
(Q) By appointment, or just casually?
(A) When it's socially, it must be casually!
(Q) Any further advice for [
257] that will assist him at
this time?
(A) Follow this (and give it to him at once).
