5.  I want you to write to me fully as to what the possiblilities are for securing the removal of the material which has been already taken out from the quarry to railhead.



You will greatly oblige me, my dear Douglass, by giving the matters touched upon in his letter your prompt attention and I especially wish the information which is necessary in order to enable me to renew my application to the Department of the Interior for the renewal of our permit to go on with our work.



Begging to be remembered with the kindest regards to your good wife and to Gavin who must now be a big boy.
