Dear Sir:-

In connection with my letter to you, dated December
Elst, relative to the case of Wesley Caudill and wife v. L. & H. R.
R. Co., Letcher Circuit Court, I am handing you herewith Chief En-
gineer of Construction Williams' letter to me of the 24th instant
with enclosures therein referred to.

I am not sufficiently conversant with the merits of
our controversy with Caudill and wife to be able to say whether there
is enough in their claim to justify the Company in paying $200. in

I order to satisfy them, nor am I sure we can make a settlement with

5 these peOple and look to the Luck Construction Company for recoup-

! ment in the absence of specific authority from that Company to

% effect a settlement. I am inclined to think, should you reach
the conclusion that our contract with the Construction Company pro-
tects us in the matter of this claim, that we had better take up with
that Company the question of a settlement before proceeding furth—
er. After considering the matter I shall be glad to hear from you.

Yours truly, 4 ‘
