Dear Sir:- 7le attach our draft yM-272801 in the amount of 0335.00 in payment for your services in the above case. This case went to the jury yesterday evening about 5:40 P.17. At 8:30 they returned the verdict for the plaintiff and fixed the amount of his recovery at $8,000.00. Tnis vras a little above what we expected, but is probably the best that we could expect in viexv of the sympathy angle usually present in jury trials of this type. There was a possibility of a larger verdict in this case considering that testimony showed that this nan will probably be permanently and totally disabled, further that his life expectancy is approximately twenty years. n.gain let me express my appreciation for your assistance in the handling of this matter. I do not believe that our defense would have been nearly as effective if we had not had the advantage of your excellent testimony and good advice. I am xvriting Iter.
