Oswestry [1]
May. 11th1904 My Dear Beck

I hope this may find you and yours well and happy. I am in excellent health— And business splendid. I wrote you from N. Y. So did Mr Clark [2] What the Hearst Estate [3] would do—

Please let me hear from you on the subject.

Hope there wont be so much trouble about our ditch this summer.
