We shall be very glad to avoid an extra trip to Portland if it can be done without extending, generally, your time for taking testimony and filing evidence. That is, we shall be very glad to agree‘that the respondents evidence is to be deemed closed as of this date, subject only to right to further examine Noah Woods and And. T. Thompson and the cross examination of Mr. J.F. Anderson.’ We presume this will be perfectly satisfactory to you. If for any reason it should not be, we will attend at Portland Wednesday, Nov. 5th for taking Woods & Thompson’s depositions, if you desire it. We have two cases set for Monday, & must be here Tuesday</i>…” Boldly penned and signed. Docketed on verso. Light age toning; general creasing; o/w VG.
