Hartford May 16/81.
Dear Charley—
Yes, if we snatch Sneider up before the court he will weaken & be glad to sign the documents & get out.
Warn Mr. Beck against him, first time you get a chance.
I wish you had taken a detailed account of stock when you went in there. I am curious to know what the $3000 worth of “plant” which I bought of Slote for 120 shares consisted of. He was to furnish a list of it to the Co., but didn’t, because a second meeting has never been held.
I want you to be able to show a flattering contrast, at the end of 3 months, between your management & Slote’s, & I think you will.
I enclose $400 which I got for a magazine article. This, like stock speculations, is money got for nothing, so to speak. Send Perkins the Co.’s note for it.
Ys Truly
S L Clemens
