| Transcript | TELEPHONE 162. NOTARY PUBLIC . C. E. ABBOTT, ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW. UNION BLOCK, 513 N. MAIN STREET, FREMONT, NEB. [Nebraska?] May 16, 1900 Messrs. Joshua E. Peel & Son, Armagh, Ireland. Gentlemen:--- Your letter received with reference to the Adam Baxter power of attorney and contents duly noted. I have also gone over with Mr. Baxter the entire matter. In reply will say that Mr. Baxter is perfectly willing to transfer this stock, as he knows that it does not belong to him, and he is willing to accommodate his mother in all things. As the matter stands at present he would be placed in an embarrassing position if he should be called on at some time in the future to show by what authority he transferred this stock to strangers. I can not see what objection there could be to having the form recite that the authority of the brokers is limited to transferring the stock to Mrs. Baxter, instead of having it in the general way that it is at present. Nor can I see why he can not "on the form provided by the bank" constitute Mrs. Eliza Baxter his attorney to make the transfer. If it can not be reached in either one of these ways Mrs. Baxter can forward to me a receipt for the stock and authority to transfer as you wish and I think Mr. Baxter would then make the transfer although I did not suggest that to him. You can readily see that Mr. Baxter can not afford to transfer this stock which he is holding in trust for his mother to the brokers, and without any express authority from her to do so. Please understand that we are not trying to embarrass you in the least in getting this adjusted, but as a business proposition Mr. Baxter wants to know that when he transfers the stock the heirs can not come onto him at some future day and question his acts. Very respectfully, C. E. Abbott |
