Oh
and June, 1931.
My dear Dr. Sochocky:
I have received your letter of the 37th
ultimo upon my return from out of town, and regret the change
of your attitude evidenced by its tone. I have no desire to
enter into any controversial correspondence with you, but in the
interests of accuracy I feel that I ought to state the essen-
tial facte in the matter in an effort to remove from your mind
some of the misapprehension shown in your letter.
It has been evident for somo time that
you and Mr. Roeder could not work in harmony, and that the con-
duot of the business of the Company was suffering from this
faot. On April 27th, at a meeting of the Board you proposed
to solve the problem by having yoursalf made General Manager of
the Company, and you will recall that you declined to allow any
discussion of the resolution by the Directors. If I remember
rightly the resolution was not seconded, and the Board voted to
take all possible stepe to make the position of the Company more
liquid under the joint direction of yourself and Mr. Roeder. At
our interview in Orange I understood you to propose --
1. That you should take charge of the Company's
affairs.
3. That a division of the responsibility should
be made between you and Mr. Roeder.
3. That Mr. Roeder should take charge of the Com-
pany's affairo.
I told you frankly that I did not personally approve
of your first suggestion, because I did not feel that you were
by training or temperament fitted to carry the matter to a suo-
cessful conclusion, and left after you had assursime that what
ever the Directora decided would be satisfactory to you.
I
discussed the matter with Nr. Roeder and the other Directors,
and on May 25th at my office I told you that I thought the Board
would decide to let Mr. Roeder work out the necessary adjustment
