The following is an accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the Shepard matter. Expense account item 1, $15, airfare and incidels, hard for deprovenance.

I arrived at 2.30 in the afternoon and was in my hotel room by 3.15. At 5 o'clock I was having a quiet drink with Porter, who turned out to be a 24-year man in the insurance brokerage business and seemed to know what he was about.

I've never had anything like this happen to me and I didn't quite know what to do about it. I'm glad I can get some expert advice from you. Well, I don't know how expert the advice will be, but I don't do what I can for you, Mr. Porter.

Have you won another one of these? No, I'm fine for now, thank you. I'll try to explain this matter as far as I know. Two days ago, Dr. Shepherd called me up and inquired about rates on straight life insurance.
