April 11, 1935. Mrs. Alta a. Gulliver, U.S. District Court, Trenton, N.J. Dear Mrs. Gulliver: We are herewith enclosing our check for balance due you in accordance with your bill of February 18th for final transcript of testimony in the LaPorte case. Due to our inexperience in transcripts of legal testimony, we were of the opinion that we had a credit coming to us for the daily testimony transcribed, and while it is true that there was some credit, nevertheless, the amount was so small that our first analysis of the situation seemed to indicate that full credit had not been given us. However, after discussing the matter with Mrs. Bergen and Mr. Markley, we find that the rules are quite definitely prescribed as to what legal stenographers are allowed to charge in these mat- ters, and even though the rates may seem at times high, we have no recourse except to pay the bills. We trust you appreciate that our letter was written in good faith at the time, even though it Was in error on ac- count of lack of full information on the subject. Very truly yours, HHBarker:DK Vice-President Enc.
