  • 166 De Kalb Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Feb. 9, 1909. Mr. C. A. Bird, Whittier, N. C. Dear Sir: Mr. A. D. Monteath, who is in my office at Asheville, N. C., has written me, that he has received a letter from you asking information in regard to a judgement rendered in the Federal court in favor of Capt. Terrell against the Thomas estate, and also in regard to a note given by Capt. Terrell to Capt. Johnston. In reply I beg to say, that I obtained a small judgement in Capt. Terrell’s favor during the special term of the Federal court at Asheville last summer. I do not remember the exact amount, but at the time I let home the judgement had not been paid, and I presume it is still unpaid. There was an agreement between Capt. Perrell and myself that I should receive ten percent of the entire amount recovered by him both in the Jackson county Superior court and also in the Federal court. He collected the judgement obtained in the State court in Jackson county and used it, and I was to be paid out of the money collected on the federal court judgement. Shortly before Capt. Terrell’s death he wrote me a letter stating that his understanding of the contract, and I replied to him that he was exactly correct in his understanding, so there can be no difference or difficulty between you and myself about it. The agreement is fully set out in Capt. Terrell’s letter, which I have on file at home. He even made the calculation showing the amount that would be coming to me and also the balance that would be left for him. My recollection is that he instructed me to place that balance on a note which he owed Capt. Johnston, but I am not positive in regard to that matter. His letter will show. I remember that he wrote me in regard to the Johnston note and perhaps stated that he was entitled to some credits or discounts on it. I know that Capt. Johnston’s estate holds such a note, but do not remember its date nor the amount. I will write to
