John M.Hackett, Esq. -2-
just outside of the park limits. I just called this incident
to your attention to possibly refresh your recollection as
to where the property involved is situated.
There is quite a bit of work involved in the
collection of this award and I, of course, want my
retainer to be purely contingent,with no responsibility on
the part of the Estate or any one connected with the
ownership of the award for any liability for any costs or
disbursements in any event. I feel that if I were to
receive 40% of the amount collected for the James R.
Roosevelt Estate, that the retainer would be fair for the
Esate and myself.
I would appreciate your taking this matter up further
with the Bankers Trust Company and letting me hear from
you.
I would also appreciate your taking this matter up
further,if you so deem it advisable, with the President as
to his interest a and his mother's interest in this award.
Very truly yours,
(signed) Charles Schneikraut
Copy to
Mr. O'Fritz
Bankers Trust Company.
