ALS, one page both sides, 4.25 x 7, no date. In part: “My dear Sir: May I ask you whether, when you took shares in the Sculpture Syndicate you had any reason to think that commission would be paid upon them. I find that commission was, as a matter of fact deducted in the case of each of the Bristol group of the share holders. Since I have realized the character of the gentleman who was at the time largely interested in the company I have been testing everything on myself, and I should be very glad to have your assurance on that point. Were you induced to take shares in any way which would seem to you to entitle the induces to a Commission. Mr. Fry Senior assures me that he was not—nor were his sons. Pray excuse the trouble I give you.” After signed, Doyle adds a postscript: “I think our prospects are very good.” In fine condition, with usual mailing folds, light toning, and a few pencil notations and spots of scattered soiling.
