When she arrived at San Francisco
she found that the enclosed sheet was missing.
This afternoon tidying a garage in which Mr. Peter Morrison, the
author, is living while Henry Anderson completes a residence he
is building for him near my home, I reversed a coat belonging to
Henry Anderson to dislodge from its pocket the nest of a field
mouse. In so doing I emptied all the pockets, and in gathering
up their contents I found this lost sheet from Marian's plans.
I think nothing more need be said on my part save that I
understood the winning plan was to become the property of
Nicholson and Snow. Without waiting to see whether these plans
would win or not, Henry Anderson has them three fourths of the
way materialized in Mr. Morrison's residence in Lilac Valley
which is a northwestern suburb of Los Angeles.
You probably have heard Marian speak of me, and from her you may
obtain any information you might care to have concerning my
responsibility.
I am mailing the sketch to you rather than to Marian because I
feel that you are the party most deeply interested in a business
way, and I hope, too, that you will be interested in protecting
my very dear friend from the disagreeable parts of this very
disagreeable situation.
Very truly yours,
LINDA STRONG.

Henry Anderson's coat for enlightenment concerning Linda's
conduct, it was with his mind settled on one point.
