I asked for it again on Monday when the secretary replyed that he did not know where it was and if we had it it was so bungled up that he did not believe that we could make it out. I insisted on getting it and at last it was found but not untill all but 2 of the commity were gone but myself and another. Then it was decided as the commity was not present that the Board should deal with the case. It was then moved and seconded that they would pay you $73.74 whereupon I objected to the Board taking action on the matter that it was the business of the Insurance Commity and I asked the Board to have it layed over untill the next meeting and I would write to you to that purpose. The majority of the Board then present was not in favour of paying for the time that you spent trying to get a settlement with Armour. I would like to see you at the next meeting an if you can make it convenient to come up to my place and give me a right understanding of the matter I will assist you to the best of my ability to get the full amount of your account.

statement of the application of the price of the McPherson farm without reference to the papers in my Milton office but I will furnish them if required. //Mr. McCall has complained to me that some property included in the sale to him has been taken from him and I think he has just and reasonable grounds for complaint.//The Hop yard was included in the sale and Mr. McCall is properly entitled to the stakes and wire. They are part of the hop yard in the same sense as fences are part of the farm. //The hay car, fork and pulleys were fastened for use and Mr. McCall was entitled to them in the same sense as he is entitled to the pump in the well. //He complains also that lumber was taken away from the barn which had been used as flooring for the scaffolds, and the parties who took it will be responsible to him for its value.//Mr. McCall has been very much aggrieved at the manner in which his property has been taken away, not so much for its intrinsic value as the manner of taking. //I infer from your letter that this property has been taken away under a misapprehension as to its ownership and I would strongly recommend a frank admission to be make to him and I am sure that he will be very easily settled with. He has always been disposed to be very friendly to Mr. McPh
