Pear Sir;- Referring to your favor of January 30th, beg to advise that I will be in New York probably another week. While I have no objections whatever to an interview, I doubt very much whether same would be productive of any result. Mr. Janes of the Bass-Heuter Paint Co. took up this matter with us and Mr. Gregg of the National Lead Co. also has recently spoken to me about it. However, if Mr. Patton desires to see me kindly communicate with this office and give me 24 hours notice. Very truly yours.
