Dear Mr. Chalfin;- On Saturday afternoon Mr. Hoffman submitted to me a letter of which I gve [sic.] you a copy. I asked him why he submitted it to me and he said he wished to have a record of it. I do not feel that he has a right to bring me into letters or records that he chooses to keep for the purpose of his own office. Consequently I have written him the letter of which I enclose you a copy. If he wants to involve me in what he designates as his records, he must address me directly for that purpose.
Yours truly, [signed] JD Paul Chalfin, Esq. 3

Dear Mr Chalfin;-
I enclose copy of letter to Mr. Hoffman about the leaks in the swimming pool. This has become almost intolerable and I strongly suspect that somebody is incompetent. It is our duty to find out the truth.
Yours truly, [signed] JD Paul Chalfin, Esq.
