Dear Matthew,
 

Thank you for the

letter
on subject matter, ref a,

received today.  Your letter does not indicate that you have called
the parties, as discussed with Jennifer and mentioned by Michele.  Was this
done? Please advise when you plan to follow up to finalize payment in the event
the parties fail to respond?




On Wednesday,

Jennifer McGlaughlin
requested the

letter
to Michele Gordon submitted on Aug 19 that is linked to the

record
of the

chronology
showing entitlement in this matter.  That material is available from
the links in this paragraph.  Please let me know if you have difficulty
accessing or following this background information.




Thanks for your assistance.




Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY






Rod Welch
