If you will pay those on October 15th I shall be very much obliged. All of the general running expenses of the Lead Fund should cease on October 1st, and this includes all regular salaries and all general "running expenses, such as telephone and Mr. Kent's various charges. This is the only notification of the stopping of our regular investigation that I am sending, but if it is desirable to let anyone else know of this, will you please inform me of itl There is still a certain sum available from the Lead Fund, and this amount we are planning to keep and utilise as the occasion arises. The regular charges to the account, however, ought to be discontinued. JCAsP N41869.02
