Gentlemen:

Sometime ago the billfold of William S, Blount, then a student
in the university, was stolen from his locker. Just yesterday
he received the letter which I am enclosing herewith and also the
envelope in which it was enclosed. This letter contained all of
the personal papers that were in his billfold at the time it was
taken. Among the papers, however, was the letter on the Hotel
Houston stationery which he had never seen before and which evidently
became mixed up with his papers sometime after the billfold was
taken.

He advises me that there had been considerable taking of
property taken from the lockers and that you were trying to trace
the ones doing this. Feeling that these two letters may give
you a lead I am sending them on to you.

Yours very truly,
