Mr. Joseph D. Harkins, Attorney,

Dear Sir:-
I have checked the January 1946 royalty, which you
advised me had been paid at the rate of 13¢ per ton, and find
that this was ‘a typographical error. The tonnage amounted to
311 tons, and this amount at 1491 would aQual $43.54, the amount
of the check sent you.
Yours ‘very truly,
