Description |
Letter written to E. B. Gaston on December 15, 1895 from Henry C. Schakel. He has not received his Courier and encloses money to receive the next few issues. He wants to know how many acres of land have been bought so far. He thinks Gaston should not write much in the Courier about taxation or the single tax for fear that the landlords might be encouraged and have some special law passed by state legislature to crush the Fairhope Corporation. J. H. Springer has asked him about the $100.00 fee. He encloses a letter from Mr. Hislop. Do officers of Fairhope Industrial Association have to give bonds, and is the Association safe against dishonest officers? Send him another copy of the constitution. His relatives are trying to get him to quit the Fairhope Plan. He wants Gaston to write a letter to him and make him an offer of $2.00 a day employment to convince his relatives that it is a good venture for him. |
