Ranlo Manufacturing Co.,
Gastonia, N.C.

Gentlemen:-

Enclosed find copy of letter I have just addressed to Mr. Ira E. Noles who telegraphed me about the trouble between your company and some of its employees. I earnestly hope that the situation can be adjusted amicably. It is impossible for me to come to Gastonia at this time, but I can come some time next week if it shall appear that I can be of real service to the community. My only interest is to serve all the people of the State of North Carolina.

Very truly yours,

[unsigned]
