My dear Kyllmann,

 

The application for a new trial is getting rather near and I expect will be heard in the Court of Appeals at the beginning of November.

     

Messrs O'Connor have asked if you will contribute towards their client's disbursements, in other words pay their counsel's fees, but I have replied that I have no instructions on this. I do not see why you should.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Charles S. J. Harper
