reach me until this afternoon because it was mis"ad~

dressed to 916 Pine Street. My address is 216 Pine

Street.

i think I have answered the questions

you raise in your letter in the one I wrote to you

yesterday. I more or less assumed that you would learn

from the newspaper: stories why you did not appear on

July 13th, As soon as Judge Welsh returns to San Fren-

cisco, your case will be dispossed of,

I don't remember whether I told you

that we are appearing in the case of liitsuye Indo as a

"friend of the court". The brief which we have filed

in your ease are also being filed in her oases

- With beet wishes,

Sincerely youre `

EBsRM rnest Besig.
