ON THIS SHEET                                   HEADS FOR INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE
Many thanks for yours of the twelfth with the optimistic
views of Mr. E. H. Thorton, Jr. They tend to offset the
pessimistic opinions of our own lawyers.
Mr0 James tells me that he conferred with our Richmond
attorney yesterday and that he will write an opinion on
the time limitations of our contracts with the Gas Com-
pany. After this advice, we can decide what steps to
take to protect our recovery of the late 1951 tax pay-
ments.
So far, our most reliable source of information has been
the result of your conversations with Mr. Thorton so we
will await the results of his talk with the Attorney
General with a great deal of interest and hope.
Respectfully yours,
cLAndre
