 Boston, Feb. 2, 1885. f 



Geo. F. Clark, Esq. : 



Sir: — My object in suggesting a conference was 

 with a view of arriving at some mutual agreement as a 

 basis for settlement by concession, and then, if conces- 

 sion should not avail in accomplishing our object, any 

 ver])al proposition made could at once be withdi-awn, 

 leaving me free to act according to my judgment, with- 

 ont prejudice to the full amount of my claims. I still 

 think it best, at any rate, to confer. 



Respectfully, 



Samuel E. Sawyer.
