Hartford, No. 10 Mr. Jill. 505- Dear 23rd, gun to Conn., 1925. Browning, 27th Ogden, May street, Utah. Daddy, We shipped the 47m/m General Pierce cannot be present for and has requested that we do a 29th, on the afternoon to try and anxious that he get 28th the of should the see mount the set gun up today. I am particularly as and, Aberdeen the shooting on the little firing for him fired, Monday we are morning, going and a little shooting in the afternoon for him. Ali the officers from all over the country will be there on 29th, and it is then that we will have to shoot the in all positions and do the greater part of the do other the gun firing. Mr. Stone, Fred Moore, and myself are going down; we will leave here next Saturday. I cannot see butwhat the gun is in good shape, and should give a good performance, I am taking the two old clips, and two new ones, one of steel and the other of duralumin. The duralumin clips weigh 60z., Mr. the others, Stone has as been you know, laid up weigh but he about came 1402. in for a while day before yesterday, and yesterday we had a conference in which Mr. Nichols and Mr. Penfield were present, as well as Stone and myself. They agreed to the terms that I had given them, as I wrote you ome time ago, excepting for the way of dividing royalties on guns thought sold in foreigh countries. Mr. Stone said he on account of the great expense of exploitation in foreign countries that any mone¥ received should be split 50-50. I told him I would think it over. Mr, | Penfield was then delegated to put our conversation into writing so we would have a record before going to Aberdeen. He handed me a draft of it tonight as I was leaving, and it is all wrong. He asks us to recognize that the gun comes under our contract of 190%, and also reserves to the Colt Co. the exclusive right to licenseothers. 1 will have anothe talk first thing tomorrow, and I think they will admit the mistake. If not , I will have to threaten to take drastic action. ded
