To the Universal Adjustment Bureau, Universal Building, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the Duke Red Matter in San Pietro, California. Expense Account, Item 3, 48 cents postage. I sent a registered letter containing a copy of Dr. Gorey's injury report on the racehorse Duke Red to a veterinarian service in Cleveland, asking them to verify the extent of injuries to the animal.

Item 425 cents, toll call to the Abbott branch outside of San Pietro. Whoever answered the phone told me that Mr. Abbott was busy somewhere in the grounds. I didn't bother to leave my name instead I drove right on out.

The Abbott breeding farm was complete with white fences, rolling green hills, bluegrass, and a stately old colonial residence set at the end of a long roadway among towering trees. From the porch of the house I was able to see the stables and a trainer working with a horse out on the ranch track.
