Selections From The Splinters

Las Vegas, 7/26/99.

James Dun

Chf Eng.

Topeka


Dear Sir:

	Complying with your suggestions, I have been on 
the look-out for competent men to fill my party, and have 
made selections of levelman, Rodman,  2 chairmen, and two 
axemen.  (as wired you today)   Of these, five are in N. M., 
and are those for whom I asked transportation, one is to 
meet me in Guthrie, and one in Kansas, and from whom I have 
received no acceptance.  Have also asked a party in K. C. 
To furnish 3 teams.

	I would have been glad, had you not asked me to 
look out for any of the party, but having obligated myself, 
I hope you will sustain me.  At the same time I am very 
sorry, if I am the cause of anybody's disappointment.

	I wrote you before that I expect to spend Monday 
the 31st in Topeka and be in Guthrie on the 1st.  I shall 
make no more engagements.  Please fill the balance of 
the party.

		Very truly

			F. Meredith Jones.
