Show 19 January 1973 Mr. Jim H. Hannan Consulting Mining Engineer 450 Calzada Independencia Colima, Colima Mexico Dear Jim: Many thanks for your attractive Christmas card. It is most unusual and I like the way the Mexicans operate an arastra in a courtyard on Christmas Eve. But, where did all the holly come from? A special situation has come up that I would like to discuss with you over the telephone. Unfortunately, we do not have your telephone number otherwise I would initiate the call from here. Whenever it is convenient would you be kind enough to call me collect here at Utah anytime between 9:00 and 5:00 our time. The telephone number is on the letterhead. I expect to be in the office all of next week. With best regards to you and Lois including success and happiness for the New Year. Yours sincerely, Weston Bourret Vice President WB/nam |
