Oct. 1st [1930]

Dear Mary

I am sorry to unclear to worrying over that bank loan. The truth is I got pretty badly hurt with all the rest in last years failure and the disappointments since. Wont you send me word as to just how much is still owed the bank and the rate at which it is being paid and whether you have any difficulty keeping it up. I have up a seventy one hundred shares of Southern Pacific which now is worth ?11800? If it is reduced far enough to be sufficient security, I am going to have Mr Thompson get it cut unclear certificates so that one can be unclear An other reason? is that I am not so very well and I don't want any one to have the trouble and expense of fixing up any business in the New York Courts. I am sorry to write you about, of course I am not unclear how you pay it. I am wanting to put it into the easiest way I can in view of contingencies that are not far off. You might enclose your answer to Joe Hamilton who lives next door. With best wishes to Lem Your friend always Clarence Darrow
