Malone was approached with a proposition to reduce his salary if the season would remain open until the second weeks of March and then received a notice that his place would be filled by someone else. Malone does not consent to this substitution and expects the complete fulfillment of his contract up to the actual termination of the season.

Hope that Malone will not think that Neilson persumes on his generosity in putting him to further trouble regarding the exclusion of his card. Neilson hopes to chat with Malone again.
