/L} I received the check for Wm. Hall, but on a recalculation, we
‘iljonly owed him fi255.05, we found that the Clerk had made a mistake in
calculatio" of the cost.

I delivered fihs check to Kr. Hall and took his rscsipt there-
for, and T enclose same to you with my check for 32.45, he refunded me
that amount.

You will nofiice that Ionroe Fields had the rscspt state that
ii was a cbock the; wars receiving and he refused to permit Hall to mdrk
file judrment s.tisfied nnfiil file check is paid..

?ks; all seem to ant fio throw as much suspicion as possible
on tfis railroad cowpary.

I will answer-your other communications some time today or

Dear Sir:- L
I saw Wm. Hall with reference to the settlement
of his clahn on the basis you mentioned, to-wit: one-half of
his claim, which would be about $220.00, and they agreed to
accept that proposition on this condition, that you will agree
that the deed be construed by the court to be bonding on the
Company to pay $1,000.00, per acre for any land they may
hereafter take under the provision in the deed and that
you pay this $220.00 for the damage to the land and allow hm
him to remain the title holder of the land, that is for
the extra width.

Now if the Company wants to settle on this basis, I can
arrange the settlement and I will ascertain the annunt to-
gether with the cost, so that they can send a check and have
it here by the time court convenes.

You can confer with the chief Engineer, but I feel
sure that they have no more use for any land on his land,
and if they should build a spur line or anything like that
ofcourse they would hot have to take, nor could not take
it under this deed.

Awaiting your reply, I remain,

Yours truly, K§ Kogg: I

Dear Sir:- “

Replying to yours of 16th inst. received this morning,
yours of 3rd inst. Was duly received but you do not quote it correctly
as you inserted after "check" "payable to W. M. Hall", and I accordingly
drew check in that name on 4th inst. and directed it to be sent to
you, and as there was no address on the check it could not have been
sent otherwise. There was a letter sent you the same day enclosing
Eubanks expense account to be sent to Mr. Peyton for voucher, and it
may have been enclosed with that letter although it is not mentioned.

- I have as requested sent check to Wootton & morgan for
$1,000.00 direct.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:- ‘
I received your letter of April 16th, containing
. the draft of the judgment in the Wm. Hall case, and I have
seen Mr. Warfield and he says the railroad company is not
occupying, now will never need to occupy any portion of the
strip of land in controversy.
mhe judgment calls for §245.00 and the original claim
was #490.00, so that is just one-half.
I wired you this morning that the Isom case against the
Swift Coal & Timber company at pichmond would he continued,
and I write this morning to confirm.that telegram. The Swift
Coal & mimher empany did not want this case pressed at the
present time and I have an agreement from W. 8. Dixon and -
W.E.Hogg the attorneys for the Plaintiff and the cross-
defendants, K.U.Co., to continue the case andif the matter
is not disposed of some other way, we have‘to meet with
Judpe Dixon of Louisville, at some of Judge nochran's courts
or at some place that he will take up and try the demurrer,
but we will wait to hear from the swift people before we
set the time.
I will not come to pichmond as that case is continued.
The cases of W.V.Dixon against Adams & Sulvan &c., and
’ gusana Cornett against the same parties, and George Hogg
against Harrison & neynolds, &c. and Campbell Mitchell
against Mellon & Beorne Drosi, &c., have all been dismissed
settled, and as soon as the smoke clears away, I will send
you a list of all new suits. -’ ,

Dear Sir:-
I received to-night the judgment, or rather the
agreed judgment in the case of Wm. Hall against L. & ‘
E. By. 00., and I return it back to you with this exclamation,
Mr. Hall only proposes to settle on conditions that he retain
the title to the land and that the one—lalf of his claim
in the petition be paid to him for the injury.
Now the Compary has no use, earthly for this land,
they have taken, they have only taken the dirt off of it for
t e fill, and it is where tie fill will not wash away, and
for that reason it will not be necessary for them to have any
moreland and if they needed any more land, it is already
a deep out, so that we will have to settle and allow him to
keep the-land, therefore instuuct me whether or not you
want the case settled according to the judgment as prepared
by them, if so, return it to me and I wll re—write it so as
to era 6 that portion of it which you have stricken out.
Yours truly, 1

Dear Sir:
——In Re William Hall Deed.——

I have your letter of the let instant, inclosing
copy of your letter of March Slst to Mr. John Howe Peyton,
Chief Engineer of Construction of the L. d N., relative to
the above—styled matter.

It seems to me that. in View of the fact that the
$1,000 was a mistake in fact when put into the deed, you would
be justified in settling at a less figure without explaining
the situation to Hall.

Dear Sir:— ' <3
‘ we took a contract fro? #11 's' 1e11, of Letcher County,
at $100.00 per acre. Later when the g; s executed the purchase
honey was figured on this basis, bE§::§;IQ. ioihg for the taking
thereafter for such additional str-.s r~ ye right need the price was
fixed at $1,000.00 per acre.

Hr. Willoughby en. “530 sore correspondence and evifiehtly
from ohe of ry letters them::§::gktood thst I euthorized it to be
corrected on the deed, pu1‘iEgjvt.er 016 not so state end I did not
so understand. Sore reab1ޤ-j;lrsards when we undertook to take an
edditiohel strip Ha I ' ' xx ; $1,000.00 ehfl I cleired that the flood

‘ showed only $100.0 ‘kugh the record. was $51,000.00. ‘r‘fhen he
' sued I fileo an EV-w-1 .- ing up the fact that there had been a
rieteke in the c7: ”r .ecord. I forgot entirely about the corre-
eponoehce Wit- re:§;!ie to the deeo itself actually showing the
€31, 000.00 anfl®oe96 was sent to re more Louisville it showed
_ . only $100.00. 1
' I spoke to He. Peyton ehout_thie the other day on a heels
of oneehelf inaswuch as I hofl discovered ere? an enlarged photograph
that the nought had been eddeo. He Wrote re thet Mr. Williers had
inferred hie that the change was Fade in the Louisville OIfice, hav—
ing acted unfler a letter of fine advising thet the reel rrioe wee
_ $100.00.
having forgotten the earlier correspondence. I defended
upon the ground that the clerk had rode a ristake in recording the
‘ deed aoo rade Vy answer a counter-0331? against Hell and a GTO$S-
petition ageihet his Wife, eeking that the cloud be rerovefl by a
' correction of the record so as to show $100.00 insteafl of $1,000.00.
It now epreare, however, as etated-ebove, that this change was iade
1 by us, that is in the Louisville office.

We can settle with hell on the basis of $500.00 instead of

$1,000.00. In View of our ha;ihg presented the fieeo as being only

 . C- H. K. _2— ’ .
$100.00 and having set it up in an answer, the question of ethics ‘
' is Whether or not We should fliecloee ‘he true facts to Hall before
raking a settlerent with him now at the reduced figure. I am in-
clined to think that we ehould but don’t know that we should, and
am not sure that this is required in view of the facfithat there was
evidently a rietake in the original waking of the deed.
I eend you copy of FV letter to Mr. Peyton. Kindly lot
we Hear frow you about this, andoblige "
