August 9, 1928 Mr. I. W. Church Ford Bldg. Great Falls, Montana Dear Jerry: Just a little note to tell you thanks until you are better paid for the services you have rendered me and I want you to know I ap- preciate your loyalty and understanding and I am happy in the knowledge that you are going to keep your eye on proceedings at the Fourth Avenue Park. The enclosed letter will explain itself to you much more than it will to me. I don’t know just what they mean by having a certified copy of Charlie’s will. Please tell me what to do. Sincerely,
