Browning, Dartois, = Belgium. CONFIDENTIAL Val: iver since my return home I have been intending to write you but after having been away so long, I found many loose ends to pickup and for a man with no business connections, I seemto have kept unusually busy. Right at the beginning, let me say that Mrs. Reierson would have written Mrs. Browning from Paris after my return from Liege to thank her for the very successful shopping for the lace, especially after I had told her what a very nasty day it was to be running from one place to another, but knowing you were about to leave for the Riviera, and as she was so busy in Paris, I suggested she wait and since our return she has been as busy with backward garden work as I have been with my affairs, so I doubt if she has written. She was tickled pink with the result of Mrs. Browning's efforts in her behalf. We were disappointed in not hearing from the Major as we had hoped and as he had promised would be the case. Wanted to see him and his charming wife and Mrs. Peary as they passed thro Paris but not hearing from him, assumed that perhaps he was delayed in making the deal for the car or for some other reason. On my return home, finding that Marriner had telephoned me during my absence, I wrote him of my return and told him T would be very glad to see him at any time when he is Bast, but have not heard from him. confidentially, I took the liberty of broaching to the head of the Western Company the matter I discussed with you,that of arranging with you the possibility of distributing your arms. He was greatly interested. I advised you in confidence that they have been after me to take charge of their selling organization. They have always been weak in their selling end and still are. They do not now know how to sell their own product, much less take on a new and unknown line, by which I mean a line with which they have had no experience. They have never learned how to make friend s and build Good Wilk. Tf believe I do know how to do these things . Whether they and I shall come to any understanding is problematical and it is quite possible that they will approach your people direct. In that event, and so far as may be consistent, it would be appreciated if you could drop the hint that they should first begin to develop a real sales organization with some one at the head who knows the game. if you are writing to Ogden and should mention any of this, please impress upon your people there the very confidential nature of all this. In fact, it is just as well that no one but they and you and I know that we have been in touch. You will understand t Have not been on Llowr Broadway as far as No. 25 since my return but hear a lot of remors indicating that they are doing some things which have stirred up the industry mightily in a few short months. That industry is a very sensitive or "mercurial" one at the best and it was always my effort to placate and harmonize rather than "stir up the animals" and antagonize. Maybe I was wrong. time will tell. One can't always have one's own way. "Give and take" must govern, I bélieve. The courtesies shown me by you and Mrs. Browning were very greatly appreciated and I now want to thank both of you for your hospitality. Some of these days when you are passing through New Yorkwe hope to have the pleasure of seeing both of you out here in the country. Be sure to let us know whenever you are coming to New York. “4 With best wishes to you both, I am sincerely, (Signed) C. L.

The former costs the jobber $13.00 and the later $13.23. The new tartff, of course, has not yet been settled and you will be more or less in the dark in your forcasts.
