Dear Forrest,

It seems that everything I de in yeur opinion is
Wrenge I guess I'm just built that way. As far as
the netice that was sent yeu regarding my contract ebli-
gations with Paramount on Nerthwest Mounted Police,
this pessibly should have gone eut earlier as yeu
Suggested. The reasen that it didn't was due te the
fact that I have been working shert handed witheut an
assistant other than my secretary, have been out of
tewn mest ef the time on business, and I was cenfined
te my heme for a ceuple ef weeks fer abselute rest
because I have been over working fer the past several
menths., The fact ef it is, I was unable toe get away
frem my office before three and four ecleck every
merning since Sept. 1st.

Really, Dec, a netice sheuld not have been nec=
essary simce it specifically states on the pass that it
is good at regular priced motion picture performances
enly and yeu sheuld have been aware of the fact that
Nerthwest Meunted Pelice was not & regular priced motion
picture but carried an increased price. I carried this
advance in prices extensively in all my advertising,

As te yeur statement that the pass was marked
“sood anytime" and that I evidently, in your ewn werds,
“missed the beat", I want te peint eut te yeu that this
anytime refers definitely te the days of the week since
the pass states it is net good Saturdays, Sundays,
holidays, or midnight shows,

Naturally, I assumed that everything was perfectly
clear te yeu since it is dewn in black and White, I.
am indeed sorry there was this misunderstanding en your

part Which caused yeu te write me a letter with ceonsid-
erable ireny playing me dewn,

Kindest personal regards and seasens greetings,

es
