Dear Joe:

Thank you very much for your nice letter
complimenting the Governor on his wisdom in re—
appointing me Chief of the Department of Mines.

This position is not easy, as you pro-
bably know, at this particular time but, at the
moment, there doesn't seem to be anyone willing
to take it and I will hang on for awhile.

Lucille joins me in sending our love to
you and Recca and with all best wishes to you
both for the coming year, I am

Dear Winston:

When you were getting dirt from Trimble Branch to make
the fill for the playground it is my information that you mauled
cirt for several private individuals including among whom were,

Therman Hurhes

Ben Stanoifer or SLanSifcr Erfiur to.

' Alex Spradlin

and possibly others whom I do not now recall but whose names you
should have. Heretorore when this matter was discussed here at
the office you Wore to check your resords as to the amount of
dirt hauled to different individuals and the amount to be paid
per yard for such dirt was agreed upon.

It has bean approximately one and a half years or more
since the ti.e this dirt was removed. This was owned by my
Mother's estate and all the heirs are looking to me for col-
lection of the amount and this must be collected before i can
make final settlement of the estate.

You promised early in the week to come into the office
the following day but to this date you have not been in. I will
appreciate your comingin and seeing us in this connection.

Very truly yours,

Manager, Kentucky Hotel
Louisville, Kentucky
Dear Sir:

The Annual fleeting of the Kentucky State Bar Association
has been scheduled for your hotel on April 5,6 and 7. We
have a Board floating on the 4th. I will probably need to be
in Louisville sometime on April 3rd., certainly through the
7th. and probably through the 8th.

Hrs. Harkins will be with me all the time. Both of my
sons and members of their family will be there at the same
time but may not arrive until April 4th. in the afternoon.

I will need for Mrs. Herkins and myself one of the ,
largest and most attractive suites consisting of a bedroom
and twin beds and parlor; and I will also need two connecting
bedrooms with bath, or three connecting rooms with bath if
you have this arrangement; and Would like it to be on the same
floor where the suite for Mrs. Barkins and I will be located
and be two or three doors removed from our suite. For your
information, Mrs. Bantins had a serious back injury some seven
or eight years ago in going into the ladies entrance of the
Lafayette Hotel, which developed arthritis in her back and
rendered her rather nervous. At times she does not find it
satisfactory to be in crowds and I had in mind that any time
such condition might develop she could leave the bedroom in our
suite and go down to one of the double bedrooms for rest. I
rather imagine that there will be many visitors in our suite on
the 5th, 6th. and 7th. It would be most desirable if you have
such a suite available on one or the floors say about the 7th.
or 8th. floor where it would be far enough removed from the
noise of the banquet and dance and yet not too high.

 V _ ‘ ’
I am leaving the office this aiternoon and Sam Rosenstein
has reserved a suite for me with you for Thursday evening; and
Friday and I think has ordered dimer for seweral invited
guests to be served in the suite at 6:00 PM. Thursday evening.
While I am in the hotel on Thursday or Friday or possibly
Saturday, if I am over with you that long, I would be pleased
if you will have one of the Assistant Managers to show me some
of the suites which you have which in your judgment would best
answer my requiranents for the Annual Meeting. I will, of course,
contact you by phone when I will have a few minutes of time
available for that purpose. .
Thanks.
Very truly yours, W

Hon. Samuel M. Roconstein
Marion E. Taylor Building
Louisville, Kentucky
Dear Sam:

Your letter of February 7th. Evidently you sent the
original to Mr. Horned and the copy to me. Of course, this
is inmmtcrial.

As to the bill received from the Kentucky Hotel: At
the time I requested it to be sent to you for payment, or to
haVB paid by Mr. Earned, it Was all in gross and,of course,

I did not know Just the proper divisions. As you will recall
there was a cults and a dinner in the rooms for the Program
Committee and there were sechal long distance calls put in
from the room by different ones present, incident to persons '
whom we wished to have on the program.

hrs. Harkins, my son and I came into Louisville on
Thursday afternoon and we weren't able to complete the work
or the Board in time for me to leave Louisville Friday after-
noon and:reach home. The same night, consequently, I had to
ramain over in Louisville until Saturday on Bar Association
business. Hrs. Harkins was not able to leave Louisville on
Saturday and we continued the occupancy of the suite until
Sunday.

My son had room 1401 and I gave the hotel a check for
his bill in full.

It mac, and is, prepcr in my judgment for the Bar
Association to take care of the bill for me for the suite from
Thursday afternoon to and including Saturday, which would be
two days time, plus the expenses of the dinner where we had the
Program Committee with us, and any long distance calls appearing
upon the bill which were incident to the Program matters; or,in
another way, were not personal calls of my own. According to my
understanding the charges for the suites are fixed ~whethor one
or two persons occupy it; but in the event there is an additidxal
charge for the occupancy of a aecond pcr on, that is for Hrs.
Harkins, than, or course, that would be a part of my personal
expenses; and the day that we stayed OVcr would likewise be my
personal expense. There is another phase in connection with tho
matter, and that is that I almost had a complete nervous collapse

 I .

about the middle of NoVember which my Doctors attributed to the
substantial troubles and additional burdens incident to the Bar
Association business and travels. It is impossible to leave
Prestonsburg and reach Louisville in time for the meetings of
the Board at ten and eleven o'clock; and it has always been my
plan to drive to Lexington the preceding afternoon; spend the
night at the Lafayette Hotel and then drive on to Louisville
the following day in time for the meeting. On the occasion of
this last trip, I left one day in advance of the time since I
had been requested by Marcus Redwine to meet him in Frankfort
incident to sponsoring certain Legislative matters in which the
Association is much interested; and then brought Marcus on with
me from Frankfort to the meeting of the Program Committee on
Thursday evening, January 26th.

I haVe not sent in any statement covering expenses of
the Board fleeting in October. Neither have I sent in any ex-
pense statement covering my attendance at the Judicial Council
on December lst., which attendance was suggested at the October
meeting and which, in my judgment, was one of the most important
trips that I have eVer made in connection with the Bar Associa~
tion work; nor have i sent in expense account cOVering travel and
other hotel bills and expenses incident to use January 27th.

\ meeting; nor an accumulation of long distance calls incident to
our Association matters; or, added to that, on eVeragc or about
a dollar a day for postage, exclusive of the stamped envelopes
which you sent me the lost requisite I made for envelopes, and
those which you sent are almost exhausted and it is doubtful
if they, the stamped envelopes, will last another weéz. And
further, I doubt most seriously if any expense item ever sent
in during the five years I hava been connected with the Board,
amounted to as much as one-third or one—half of the expenses in-
curred at any pnrticulcr time.

Of course, I do not want the Board to pay GVGn one cent
for any personal expenses which should be paid by me. I can do
one or either things; I can send a personal check in payment of
the bill and than include all mileage etc., in my personal ex-
pense account, or Mr. Harned can go ahead and pay this bill,
attachin: this letter thereto as a certificate under section 903
and whatever my personal portion of it should be, can be deducted
from my expense account, when, as and if I send one in for pay~
ment.

Very truly yours,

my dear Mr. Harkins:
we are getting our new catalog ready to go to press and I feel sure that
you have overlooked a payment on the sacred memorial which you and Mrs.
Browning have established here as a scholarship fund in memory of your
father and mother. Each of you pledged $500.00 to this fund. You have
paid $h00.00 and Mrs. Browning has paid $500.00. I would like very much
to have the total in this fund showing a payment of the complete $1,000.00
memorial in the new catalog.
If it suits your convenience, please mail me a check made payable to
Kentucky Wésleyan College and indicate that it is to be credited to the
Harkins Scholarship Fund as a part of our permanent endowment.
Judge Stanley brought to my attention your very thoughtful letter which
was sent to him in which you endorsed Kentucky wasleyan College for con—
sideration as a part of the Kittinger Estate. we are certainly grateful
to you for this endorsement.

Dear Dr. Powell:

Your letter of February 9th.

During the past year with the coal strike on hands
the collections of the office from coal royalties have been
practically nil; I have been giving practically all of my
attention to the matters pertaining to the presidency of the
State Bar Association to the exclusion of even collections;
and at the present I have the State and County taxes to pay,

a substantial insurance premium and the balance of income

tax for the year 1949, all of which would make it inconvenient
for me to spare even the smallest sum of the balance due on

the pledge that I have in connection with the school. It will
probably be some time in the middle of the summer before I can
send you check in connection with the same; and what that
particular date would be depends upon the settlement of the
coal strike and the collections which come into the office.
Fortunately for me, my term as President of the Ear Association
expires April 7th.

I have not forgotten the fact that you were to have
this additional one hundred dollars to complete payment on the

. five hundred which I agreed to give you but the demands of the
State and of the Federal Government for payments on items to
them, hays to be considered first and I know you appreciate
that fact. Just as soon as I can spare this amount I will be
glad to send you check for it.

With all good wishes.

Sincerely yours,
Joseph D. Barkine

My dear Mr. Harkins:
I appreciate yours of February 11.
I can readily understand the problems of any man who has a
relationship to the coal business at a time like this. We
have some student accounts that are giving some anxiety be-
cause of the same situation which is gradually affecting the
economy of our whole country.
I note that it is your intention to delay your payment on
the endowed scholarship until perhaps the middle of the summer
' and this will be all right. We shall simply file your letter

and perhaps somebody may drop you a card of reminder at that
time, if you wish.
The only reason that I reminded you now is because of the fact
that we are preparing for publication our new catalog and I
thought it might be you would want to complete it with that in
View.
Your letter is entirely satisfactory and very much appreciated
and I send you my personal regards.

Dear Hr. Hooray:

I dislike to bother you with omlaints and criticism
but somehow or other the phone service here, in spite of all
that your local employees may be able to do, is consistently
getting worse and worse. There has never been a time when it
has been more important for no to have quick, efficient telephone
service than it has been for the past few weeks. Particularly
ac, during the time the Legislature has been in session.

At different days, the phones at the office and at my house
have been absolutely dead; and other days there was considerable
lose or time in answering calls were the people tell no they
have rung another nmber and the phone rings here at the office;
at other times, at both the house and the office, we have had to
«it some times for ten or fifteen minutes before we could get
the dial tone in any way; and on lent Sunday, after waiting for
ease time to get the dial tone at my residence I had to ring for
at least ten minutes or more to get the long distance operator at
Paintoville, for a. call for my sister, are. Browning, at Ashland,
phone 2306,mich I was most anxious to get through immediately,
since I thought she was leaving ashlend on the noon train for
Louisville. During all the time I was ringing I could hear a
radio playing, but when the operator cams on the line and I made
some inquiry as to the delay, she said that the ring had Just
come into Paintsville; many times on a long distance call I sees:
to have trouble, naybe for many minutes, in getting disconnected
Rom the Paintsvills office, even after I have hung up the re-
ceiver; and even this morning I have answered three or tour rings
or the phone anon the person putting in the. call tells me that
they have been calling for another masher other thsn at the office
here and still our phone rims.

On some or these occasions I have node cells to it's. Hale
about themor other tines I have called Mr. ucIntosh about than
and they are most cooperative in their praises to get the phones
in good ordermnd unuslly do for a day or too. I dislike to bother
them too much; and therefore I on sending this letter to you.

I do not know what the condition is ,«hsthsr it i s in the over-
loaded service uhich you have at the office, or somewhere in the

 4
equipment, but. some times I have to go out; of the office to
other phones to put in immediate calls‘ and I find at those
other phones that I get the dial tone imediately, instead
of having to wait for minutes in order to get it.
Try to help us out, won't: you?

Prestonsburg, Kentucky
Dear Paul:-

Following your telephone call to me on the night of March
8th., I immediately tried to get Norman Allen on the phone but
was informed that he was out of town but would be in his office
the next morning. I passed along the information you had re-
quested me to give him, as to the Floyd County Judicial Bill.
The next morning I talked to Norman himself, at his office,and
told him of your call and of your statement to me that he knew
all the details relative to the Bill. Because of your statement,
I did not go into the matter of your intense interest in the
Bill, or the cooperation those of us interested in the separate
Judicial district, had in the matter.

This morning I have the March 16th. issue or the Floyd
County Times;and from it, it seats to give the principal credit
to Senator Hayes and does not give you any mention at all in
connection with the work shich you did. I, of course, in no way
depreciate the valuable service that Doug has rendered and the
cooperation we could always depend upon from him; but on the
other hand, I know that you have been on the Job all the time in
connection with this Bill, and other bills in which we haVe been
interested, and I am disappointed that you are not given full
credit for the work done in the House in connection with the
credit given Senator Hayes for the work in the Senate.

Knowing what you have done, I feel sure that the Bill would
never have passed, except for your constant interest in it; and
I want to say to you now that I personally appreciate very much
what you have done in connection with this matter and in connect-
ion with the Bills sponsored by the Bar Association and getting
them through.

My best personal regards.

Very truly yours,
Joseph D. Herkins

Dear Mr. Harkins:
Well, another month has rolled by, and we have not re—
ceived that little check you promised to send us, nor
have we received the other one that was supposed to be
here. he realize that it is annoying to you, to be re«
minded of this from time to time, but it just so happens,
that we happen to be one of those unfortunate concerns,
that needs money too.
Can't you possibly arrange to send us something by return
mail?
Your cooperation in this will be appreciated.
Vergéaruly yours,

Gentlemen:

Your letter of March 29th. is just received, which, about
the time of this receipt, you should have received check in full
paymcnt of your account which I sent you with a great deal of
pleasure.

The coal strike, starting last June, played considerable
havoc with the collections, both from coal royalty and business
collections, in this section, as well as throughout the country.
Up until about two to three week: ago, I had not collected one
cent from coal royalties and usually collect anywhere from $750.
to $800.. per month on that account. Further, for some reason
or other, it soon: to have affected the Louisville, Indianapolis,

. Nachville and other places, for which we have been sending bills
to clients for many months without getting any returns whatever,
- until one Small bill was paid a short time ago.

I trust this will be a satisfactory explanation to you an
to the delay in paying this bill; and which, when collections be-
gun to be r0031Vad, Was the first bill that I have paid, other
than ordinary office operating expenses which usually run about
$800.00 per month.

Very truly yours,
Joseph D. Harkinc
