NICHOLS & SflHBltT, RHH V R«n.Mioheis. �copy DRAPER & COMPANY Incorporated WOOL 281 Sumner Street Boston November 29,1930 R. H. Nichols, Esquire, Casper Wyoming. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of November 13, in which you Inquire our reasons for denying Mir. Minty’s claim for further commissions from Draper & Company, we will say: First, Draper & Company did not agree to pay I4r. Minty’s commissions except up to the sum of $1,000 plus his exoenses. This is confirmed by the original telegram sent from Washington on February 4 by Mr.Thompson and is also confirmed by what took place at the Denver conference where our Mr. Tuttle was present and has reported to us just what the agreement was. Second, Mr. Minty did not make any binding agree* ment for a commission of one-quarter of a cent per pound, which remained unvaried throughout the season. The talk at Denver was entirely informal, unconfirmed by letters or papers, and merely constituted a basis for the beginning of operations. The duration of his employment and the terri­ tory to be covered were merely generally included in the conversation. At that time the Wyoming Co-operative had not been fully developed and it was a meeting to enlist Mr. Minty’s services, without anything more than a general understanding. ^When field-workers were later introduced, a further factor appeared which led to an arrangement which persisted to the end of the season. Third, It is our belief that a final arrangement was made between Mr. Minty and the officers of the Wyomi.ng o-operative, who were the sole parties who negotiated with Mr. Minty, except for the single appearance of Mr. Tuttle at the Denver conference; and that this provided that Mr. Minty was to receive one-eighth of a cent per pound on all the wool secured in a certain territory, regardless of whether he secured it or whether other workers in the territory were responsible. All of the facts confirm this as the real under- �R. H» Nichols, Esq. - Page 2. standing and Mr. Minty himself has made statements to that effect before the present question arose. During the first year of the co-operative marketing operations. Draper & Company undertook obligations which were no part of their contract and provided expense money to tdce care of field workers. Mr. Minty’s case was just one of many and, as in several other instances. Draper & Company in the end, put out considerably more money than they had stipulated at the outset. Under the circumstances above outlined, you can see that Draper & Company feels ab­ solutely no obligation to pay Mr. Minty anything and con­ siders that, rather than making a claim, he should feel much pleased at the generous treatment accorded him.
