Macomb, Illinois
Dear Sir: Yours of 25th is received. In reply to your inquiry I would say that I have every facility for attending to business in Great Britain and Ireland, but as to terms I can say nothing until I know what the business is.
One thing is well enough to bear in mind, that while we can here (illegible) business or a (illegible) lawyer in Europe are forbidden by law to do so, and therefore any help we may want from atty. On the other side must be paid for in cash in advance. I will be please to hear further from you on the subject.
Yours T.,
Fred Fairthorne
