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. |
