| Transcript | My dear Cousin Willie I am sorry to say that I cannot forward the proceeds of the $5000 N.Y. [New York?] City stock by this mail as several delays have occured. A few days since Messrs King & Duer notified me that they would require a power from Dr. [Doctor?] Saunders to transfer the certificate. So I went down to see them and they agreed, upon reading your instructions, to transfer it and asked me to get from your side some sort of approval of their course. Yesterday they were to transfer it but this morning they wrote me that the books of the City were closed and the transfer cannot be made until Nov. 1st. As the stock of course is negociable [negotiable?] with the power of Atty [attorney?] attached I tried to sell it. The broker who offered 103 only offered 102 1/2, money being more active he said, and Consequently he could not give so much. I then saw two other brokers and they are to let me know what they can get for it. There are no dealings in these stocks at the Exchange and it is always troublesome to sell them. I have nothing new to tell you excepting that Duer told me that he was sorry about the year's delay but that they were merely following their counsel's advice & were guided solely by what he said. I hope Geraldyn will arrive tomorrow. All well Afftly [Affectionately?] yours Roland Redmond |
