Show - Wr. Walter G. Moyle tugust 25, 1941 $53,793.00 approximates so closely our computation, wherein the same method was used, that our assumption is correct. The second is the method used in reducing our sales to the "Remington-Savage” jobbing basis. As you know, if this question were explored to the full extent of its possibilities there are very many problems erising in connection with it. We do not mean to infer that there is anything wrong with the calculations submitted or that we did not fully advise the Bureau in our brief as to just what had been done, but having lived with this particular phase of the case for so long {t would be a great relief to know that the method had been approved. You know a great deal more about how to proceed on this than we do, possibly the thing to do is to take it for granted. Inasmuch as there is a great deal of difference . between the computations prepared upon Mr. Ekstrand's basis and those reducing the sales for the suit period to jobbers prices, it is felt that your idea of asking Mr. Gimmerman for an additional allowance sufficient to offset the loss of interest is a good point in your trading with him. In talking to ™. Browning on Saturday he asked that we convey to you his desire to have the case closed at the earliest possible moment. He is particulariy anxious to get it behind us and if this can be accomplished in the immediate future it will be sincerely appreciated by him. in the meantime, if there is anything at all that Mr. Thatcher or ourselves can do to help you, we will leave it entirely up to you to call upon us. EF. Thatcher has gone over our calculations and agrees with them in principle. We are particularly anxious to know just what Mr. Exstrand's computations are and how he arrives at them. The ones we have made, of course, can be used for comparative purposes and sf he follows through to the post suit period upon the same basis as we assume he has for the suit period we should be very close to his figures. With kind personal Very sincerely (Signed) GMB ic regards and best wishes, yours, Scholefield, Wells & Baxter |
