Dear Ovid: 
 
          Aeferring again to your letter of September 13, pre- 
 
viously acknowledged, I eneloze oopies of letters I am sending 
 
today to Messrs. Houghton and Leopold. These explain them- 
 
selves.   Fo  your information I also enclose the copy of his 
 
letter to Leopold which Mr. Houghton sent me. 
 
          I assume you have already spoken to Zessrs. Pratt 
 
and Vass, and that we may take it for granted that Graves and 
 
Wharta will be willing to continue to serve.
