Dear Franklin:
 
              When you were at Hyde Park on May 6th I told 
you about George P. Davis, who lives on Violet Avenue, 
opening a door and falling to the cellar under the barn on 
the Dumphy farm. At the time of the accident on Feb. 20th I 
reported it to the insurance company represented by Mr. W. 
W. Luckey and it has been trying to settle the matter with 
Davis.
 
              Today, I learned that Davis is about to start 
an action through his attorney, James E. Carroll of this
city.
 
              With kindest regards, I am
                            Sincerely yours,
                            Henry Hackett
