Dear Barker:
I have your letter in regard to the cases which you expect to come
up in New York on January 5. I think that Dr. Moore's hesitancy and mine
about making appointments to come to New York for these cases has been
on account of the uncertainty of the engagement rather than on account of
actual time put in in preparation, correspondence, etc.
I think you understand the situation that the necessary dates must be
kept clear and that late notification of cancellation is sometimes quite
awkward. For example, if other appointments are made on the same trip
which cannot be cancelled, it leaves things rather hanging in air. This
is what Dr. Moore and I had in mind with reference to retainer fees as a
sort of insurance.
Of course, if Dr. Moore comes on to New York for treatment, and his
recovery is sufficiently rapid, he might still be able to serve you. I
doubt, however, if his condition will justify this, or if you would want
to put him on the stand, as it might create an impression unfavorable to
your case. I still hope, therefore, to be able to serve you if he is not,
and if the necessity arises. It would necessitate, however, that I would
either be away continuously for nearly two weeks, or that I would have to
make two trips East in successive weeks. If you happen to get a postpone-
ment to some later date, it would appear much more convenient for me, but
I know that you have many other things to consider.
With best regards,
Sincerely yours,
s. C. Lind
