my saddle pal red coners and I were

riding deep in the heart of the Sierra

Blanca country on a strange Mission a

week ago the assistant chief for the

Bureau of Indian Affairs had sent for

me and in his office in Santa Fe New

Mexico and somewhere in this thousand

square mile area is the place the

Indians call the land of the black

Waters that burn only Chief tallor has

the map with the exact location

said to be on a bracelet that's handed

down from father to son you mean you

brought hopping me all the way from Twin

Rivers just to tell us this Indian

Bedtime Story red this is not just a

legend there's a lot of evidence in the

museums that prove that the kamanchi

knew of the existence of oil long before

the white man came West Chief tall hores

admitted has the map but he refuses to

give it up says a tradition of his tribe

that uh only evil can come from the

black Waters oh Indians are always

worrying about ghosts or something they

had a right to worry about the Waters in

those days read the animals got stuck in

the oil and when the Braves went after

them they got stuck too and went under

well Mr Bradley now that I've given read

his uh history lesson what is it you

want me to do I want to get that map

from Chief tallor if anyone can get it I

know you can why is it so important all

of a sudden that land is due to be open

for homesteading 10 days from today if

anyone discovers oil after that date the

Indians won't get a Penny's worth of it

and if it's discovered before then I

have the promise of the government that

the Indian she'll get 25% of all the oil

taken from that

ground I don't know the chief has always

been pretty set in these ideas ha you

know my feeling toward the Indians you

know I've always tried to help them will

you help me well the government put

their promise to the Indians in writing

I have it right

name or the face of the man who helped

his father make a lasting peace with his

White Brothers can I help you there yes

just hold him still I'll cut a

shirt it was nearly noon of the next day

when Johnny finally pronounced his

father out of danger the chief had been

lucky the bullet had just missed his

[Music]

heart

happy

[Music]

yeah my son and I are both grateful to

you for getting me here in time friend

gity thank you Chief you feel better now

fine my people are tough it takes more

than one bullet to kill a

kamachi what brings you to Sierra

Blanca it's it all right if I talk with

well go ahead it'll probably do him

good Chief I'm here on a nation that may

bring great prosperity to all your

people in the years to

[Music]

come the chief and I talked for several

hours he asked many questions mainly

about the government's promise to

protect his people I showed him the

paper Bradley had given me

how long's this power going to last my

people are never in a hurry when there's

something important to be considered you

think hoppy can convince

him I think he could convince my father

that black is

white so I have told you the whole story

Chief that's as far as I can go I know

you to be a man of Truth friend Cassidy

I will give you the

map the white men can drill for the

black Waters that burn

on the bracelet on my right wrist is

engraved the

map take it with my

blessing it's not on your wrist you must

have taken it off when I was 21 years

old my father placed the bracelet on my

wrist from that day to this it had never

left my arm he had it on when he left

yesterday afternoon hoby he

did now I think I know why you were shot

last night somebody beside your father

must know that that bracelet is the map

to the oil Land but who could read it

outside of a commanche

chief well it may take time but anyone

who's made a study of commanche symbols

might eventually work it

out

hey

Johnny what do you know about Turner and

his

sister what kind of people are they

where did they come from well Betty came

out here a short time ago with her blind

brother and opened up a miliner shop

she's been very kind of the children on

the reservation as a matter of fact

that's why father went in to see her

yesterday to thank her for some clothes

she made for them I'm afraid you're way

wide of the mark there hooby uh

maybe did she make the first move to

meet you on your

father come to think of it she did she

always seemed very much interested in

kamanche

folklore did she ever mention the

bracelet your father

wore she always admired it as a fine

piece of primitive art she did huh I

think I'll go into town and have a talk

with Miss Betty Turner surely you don't

suspect her of having anything to do

with this Johnny you never can tell what

some people might do especially when the

Stak are

high come on red let to Wi to

[Applause]

town

hello Miss Turner I want to thank you

for the use of the

blanket and I'm sure you'll be glad to

know that the chief is going to live I'm

so glad to hear that

blae Mr Cassy says that the chief is

going to be all right is isn't that

wonderful news wonderful in a few weeks

he'll be just as good as new well our

thanks to you Mr Cy for getting to the

doctor in time Betty and I have become

very fond of the Old Gentleman I don't

remember having seen you before do you

belong in this district oh no we're from

the Twin Rivers country we just came

down here to buy some Indian

cattle well we better go if we want to

look at that herd

Goodbye Oh uh by the way the chief seems

to think he lost a bracelet of some kind

here in town last night did you hear

anyone say they found

it no I I didn't was it valuable no I

don't think so it's probably just one of

those old things the older Indians wear

if I hear anything I'll let the chief

know I wouldn't worry about it he'll

remember where he put it when his mind

clears up goodbye thanks for coming in

Mr Cassidy

goodbye

you sure learned a lot of nothing in

there I wouldn't say that you know hoppy

the longer I hang around you the less I

know what's in your mind that goes two

ways double come on where are we headed

for telegraph office I want to get a

message off to Bradley in Santa what

about I want some information about a

blind man who can write what are you

talking about Hoy I bet that flame

Turner and see as good as I can what

makes you think so he was working on

those maps in the living room table he

had ink stains all over his fingers

I didn't see any I

did you

did I'd sent my a message asking if the

Bureau of Indian Affairs knew anything

of a woman who called herself Betty

Turner and an hour later I received a

[Music]

reply what did it say yeah

really Betty Turner formerly a secretary

in this office stop what are you

stopping for read the rest of it it said

stop me that's just a period oh sure

stop her brother bla Turner considered

an authority on Indian folklore

R I'll be darn like we hit on something

huh that dirty sneak what do we go to do

now get the bracelet back I wish it was

that simple we can't even prove that

they've got it come on let's get back to

the

reservation I got an idea that might

work

[Music]

if anyone else had told me this story I

would not have believed them you know

something else Chief I believe bla

Turner shot you just to get that

bracelet but we still have to prove

it Chief do you have another bracelet

that looks anything like the map

bracelet we have several all right

Johnny got them out of the

cabinet here this one has the same

symbols and markings as the ones on the

map bracelet that's good we'll just put

it on the chief's pill here for a while

I don't understand hobby I'm just

bathing a trap I'll explain later well

red here we go again back to town I'm

getting tired of just riding back forth

don't worry this time you'll have plenty

to do see you

[Music]

later

oh hello how are you here I am again so

I see what can I do for you since Cent

me's finished her business down here and

her heading home thought it might be

nice if have bought a hat take home to

my sister I'd be glad to help you pick

one out for her what is her coloring is

she tall or short or she's about my size

more flowers on it my sister just just

loves flowers I'll do it right

away Chief toll horse had a mighty

narrow Escape he's going to be late up

in bed a long time my brother now will

have to get out to see him one of these

days does anyone have any idea who shot

him cassid figured it might have been

someone who had a feud with a chief in

the old days that's a

possibility red was playing the dumb

talkative num skull perfectly and it

looked like BTY was falling for

[Music]

it funny thing about that bracelet that

disappeared what's funny about it the

chief told us that it had something to

do with a map or something but it wasn't

any good without the other

one what other one the other bracelet

the chief has somehow it it's no good

without the other one to complete the

map at least ways that's the way I

understood it that sounds very

interesting and

exciting have you seen this other

bracelet yep chief keeps it under his

pillow right pretty thing what it's a

little bracelet about this big who

always got a lot of do dads tracings and

marks on

it some of those old Indian bracelets

are beautiful I'll have to ask the chief

to show it to me

[Music]

come Brett and I were riding home from a

business trip across the border to reach

our rents the bar 20 we had to pass

through a number of Mexican

villages

apocado was one of the smallest

settlements yet in its colorless sleepy

way it fascinated

[Music]

me get that wagon out of

here had topper been a less intelligent

horse I couldn't have avoided riding her

down fortunately the woman was UN hurt

and I helped her to her feet she

apologized for stepping in front of us

she said she had hurt us and the wagon

and became

confused I looked at her more closely

and suddenly the reason why she had

failed to see us became clear Senora

solidad was

blind much gracias seor you have been

kind to a blind lady

I hope because of me you have not too

long delayed your journey oh we weren't

going any place in particular were we

red least ways we weren't in any hurry

oh buen no then you can drink a cup of

coffee perhaps see oh you're very kind

but that would put you to too much

trouble but it is already please could I

help you Sonora oh no gracias please sit

down it is four years now that I am

blind and one learned to get

along my man Pedro solad he is dead and

my son Manuel he is gone so I man it for

myself your boy has he been gone long he

7 months seor seems to me he should have

stayed with you oh no seor he could not

make enough money here there is no work

in Rio Hermosa he has good

job he did not like to leave me

but we need the money seor I'll help you

with this thank you sor

while I poured the coffee R and I

learned that her son manwell for the

first 5 months of his absence had sent

the Senora money several weeks before

however Manuel stopped writing and also

stopped sending the money naturally the

good woman was worried she wondered if

perhaps the change had come about

because of a girl Manuel had met in Rio

Hermosa all she knew about this girl was

that her name was Carmenita Escobar and

that she worked in a

Cantina well it's been very pleasant

Senora but we must go if we hope to get

to our Ranch before dark all pleasures

must end there sees but you will visit

me again when you ride through aato we

certainly will thank you very much the

another you sure there's nothing more we

can do for you before we go

oh

[Music]

red seemed puzzled when I delayed our

start for home the fact was I wondered

about Manuel and why he had stopped

writing to his blind mother as I could

think of no pressing reason to hurry

home I suggested to Red we devote a

couple of days in checking the situation

in Ria Hermosa red was was pleased he

too wanted to ease the mind of seora

[Music]

solidad

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

V there are other canas in Rio Hermosa

why you Greeno come here looking at you

ain't that a silly question V pesos

where will we finish you pay

now all right don't get in the

Huff by the way what ever happened to

that fellow that used to hang around you

what do you think I know everybody's

business the customers come and they go

I don't keep track of them you kept

track of this one his name was Manuel

Manuel solidad or something like that he

went away someplace I don't know where

now give me the money

[Laughter]

sure maybe the little Spitfire is

telling the

truth

yeah maybe she's not we'll hang around

just in

case why you ask about this Manuel

friends of

his then why don't you ask about him

before you've been in here many times

since he went away that's right

sweetheart but we didn't know he was

wanted for murder until today he's in

trouble so we want to help him if he is

in trouble he will have other friends he

can

trust

[Music]

what do you um brace want I like a tall

grass of fizz water with a little Cherry

syrup in it we have beer wine and

whiskey that's all no s spill

are you making jokes this is a place of

business what for you seor information

about

what are you Carmen Ceda Escobar what if

I am we hear that you might know the

whereabouts of Manuel

solidad it's important that we find

Manuel so I'd appreciate anything you

can tell me about him senorita I can

tell you nothing he stayed in Rio AOS a

few months but five six weeks ago he

went away where where'd he go if you

want to ask questions find Manuel and

ask him what's your pitch Mister the

answer is none of your business we're

making it our business Manuel was our

friend you don't strike me as the kind

that have any friends oh a smart ell

[Music]

huh keep your hands off that Hardware

get out come on

I'll

get get on your horses and get out of

town

now what we'll leave the horses here and

walk back up to The Cantina we're not

going in there again no I'm going to

keep my eye on those two I got a hunch

that'll lead us to Manuel I got a hunch

you're asking for trouble you see Carmen

SE I've talked to Manuel's mother she's

blind and alone and avocado of she not

only needs the little money that he's

been sending her but she's worried for

fear something's happen to him because

he's quit writing to her she could sure

use the money too why don't you be a

good girl and tell us where he is you

americor you make a life to fool me how

I know that is all you want from

oneu I guess you'll just have to take

our word for senorita for your

word it's pretty obvious manuell is in

trouble and I'd like to help him but

you'll have to help too by telling me

where I can find

him

please when Manuel left the riosa he

went to the Rancho Diablo Rancho Diablo

where is that it is in the Hills East 67

miles I think maybe you find him there

RHA senorita has Liv

E I couldn't believe that Cara told us

the whole truth red agreed and the ride

to Rancho Diablo might prove to be a

wild goose

chase I decided first I would talk with

the local comman of the rurales in the

meantime red would keep an eye on the C

[Music]

Ina

I tell you not to come to the cantin and

you come anyway but where can I go go

home to abocado manw to Chihuahua any

place where it is safe but not here what

if Coro Gonzalez of the rali should see

you I cannot stay longer atano Alo and I

cannot run away if the rales do not find

me those Gringos will those Gringos are

gone Manuel get out you what right you

had to come in here just a minute

carmena all we wanted was to talk to man

whale I guess you heard us asking about

you manuale I heard everything then you

know we're here because of your mother

but that ain't why we're here

Manuel get the Fat Boy's gun and see if

he's got a knife oh no you cannot take

get away from that gun all right let's

go where are we going not far enough to

t you

[Applause]

up my visit to the r alley is paid off

from corpo Gonzales I learned that

Manuel had worked for a local Merchant

named Leif Seabury who was found stabbed

to death on the morning after Manuel

disappeared the corpal was positive that

Manuel had committed the crime

especially when it was discovered the

seab berry had been robbed of 300

pesos are you sure you saw Manuel with

the knife just before the man closed the

store for the night see seor custody

when I stepped into the store Manuel was

holding a knife which he wanted to buy

it had a carved bone handle in a fine

Blade with engraving all over it and you

found the knife later no no no no knife

no pesos no Manuel all gone well then

somebody else could have done it with

another knife then why Manuel run away

oh well he's running away doesn't

necessarily prove that he's guilty it's

possible seor if you want to you can

search for him but if you find him you

tell me ask seor I sure

will

[Music]

I took away him in the well who's going

to kill who you mean my friend red those

Gringos came back they took away him and

Manuel then Manuel was here oh please

Senor try to find them in the Hills up

there I'll see what I can do oh

gracias come on

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah

for a moment it looked to red as if he

and Manuel had come to the end of the

trail then Andrews caught sight of

[Music]

me

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

down

why did you hang on to that boy only

they hand me all tied up I couldn't do

anything he went on up the other way

I'll go after him no wait well let me

loot hey let me loot I want get me

[Applause]

loose

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

a Manuel was badly scared and stubbornly

refused to talk I tried to appeal to his

Devotion to his mother it was no

goal I decided in the time it would take

to get him back to RI Hermosa he might

calm down enough to answer

questions

what happened to you we had to run in

with some guy from Over The

Border run in about what I found man

well but they were after them too who's

they hurry up and get the Shoulder fixed

will you take it easy couple of

Americans did they get him I don't know

last we saw him he was high tailman for

the hills and you didn't go after him

listen that hbre can put a bullet in a

centavo at 50 yards besides Andy here's

in pretty bad shape take a

look that ain't so bad but losing the

Mexican ears if you two had listened to

me this wouldn't have happened I wanted

to put a bullet in him right away but no

now we're chasing around like a bunch of

scared coyotes and for what all lowy 300

pesos what do you mean 300 pesos with a

th000 pesos reward for the capture of

the Killer dead or alive all we had to

do was to knock him off take him to the

rallies and collect so now man wild gets

to the rallies

first when Blacky gets you fixed up him

and me will ride out and find Manuel and

when we do we won't waste any

time you know you're not helping

yourself by withholding the fact Manuel

I have the fact Senor Cassidy I entered

the place a few minutes before they

closed for the night solidad had the

knife in his hand yeah yeah yeah we know

all about that the knife had a bone

handle and was engraved on the blade but

did you see Manuel stab him what more do

I need seor Roo I was there he had the

knife in his hand I saw it the man was

stabbed to death and robbed of 300 pesos

are you such a fool you cannot speak or

are you too much of a coward to fight

for yourself even a worm tries to crawl

out of the hand Carmen C Is Right Manuel

I want to help you but you must tell the

truth about what happened poy thinks

you're innocent that's why I brought you

back so you could prove

it I did not believe it when you told me

this Senor Cassidy I made a mistake I

think I can understand and I can't say

that I blame you so

talk this is a waste of time

BOS this is what happened at the store

the truth Amigo Manuel recounted the

story of what happened on The Night Le

Seabury was murdered after Corporal

Gonzalez had left Manuel was about to

bolt the front door when pointer and the

Andrews pushed their way in and demanded

the money out of the strong box the days

receipts 300

pesos when seaby did not move rapidly

enough pointer seized the knife which

still lay on the counter and stabbed him

to death fearing for his life Manuel

tried to slip out to run to the rear

place for help pointer however caught

him and wanted to kill him on the spot

but Andrews insisted they take him along

with them and where'd they take you to

the Rano Diablo why did they take you

along to make Corporal Gonzalez think he

ran away because he was

guilty and you escaped from this Ranch I

heard the one they called blacki say

there is a reward of a thousand pesos

dead or alive I was afraid they would

kill me and deliver my body to the

rales so I ran away I did not know which

way to turn so I came here to The

Cantina and uh where's the knife the

knife the strong box everything is there

atanto

Diablo we better take a ride out there I

agree with you Senor Cassidy but first I

think I better lock up a solidad in the

CER you know seor a bird in the hand

yeah if you don't mind read I'll go

ahead you come out a soon as you can see

seor and don't worry you won't be in

jail long much gracias

a more dilapidated rundown outfit than

the Rancho Diablo we had never seen only

one horse was in evidence and as Manuel

had told us that only the three men were

hiding out there red and I assumed we

had to reckon with the man whom I had

wounded earlier in the

day

that this is going to be more productive

than our last effort this Mayo says you

were busy while I was gone that's right

just catch your eyes on that 100 acres

$1,000 Hopalong Cassidy where have I

heard that name before but cassid is a

local bigwig being able to say he's one

of our buyers who sell more land than

all the high pressure salesmanship we

could use good what's he look like I

don't know his Man red coners made the

deal for him that coners is a dumb

square world if I ever saw

one what does the difference that make

to us we've got Cassidy's money and his

name on our

contract yeah thank you very

much here help

yourself you better wait over

there

how do you do Miss how do you

do I'd like to talk to someone about

this land deal oh come right

[Music]

in a gentleman to see you

well how do you do sir how do you do sir

I'd like to find out about this land you

gentleman are selling glad to tell you

the whole story my friend my name is

rivers and this is Mr Dale my associate

how do you do sir have a seat thank you

I feel sure that uh that you feel like

making a substantial investment

providing we can show you how you can

make 500% profit in 6 months before we

go into that I'd like to hear your

proposition why it's the greatest

opportunity offered to Smart businessman

like yourself west of the Mississippi

and let me tell you something my friend

Hong Cassidy bought some of the land is

that

so well this is beginning to sound very

interesting I'll give you the facts my

friend you can draw your own

conclusions Rivers glibly explained that

they had obtained title to thousands of

Acres of government land land on which

only Sage Brush and mosquite now grew

but which would soon become a fertile

Valley a virtual Promised Land according

to Dale the engineer this was to be

brought about by digging an enormous

irrigation ditch from harer Canyon 50 Mi

away the longer their sales talk

continued the more I was convinced my

fears were well founded red had bought

worthless land for my hard-earned money

what worried me most was knowing that

these high pressure confidence Men were

using my name to sell unsuspec ing

friends and now that you realize what a

great opportunity this is how much would

you like to invest oh I'm afraid you

jumped to the wrong conclusion how so I

didn't say I wanted to invest in your

proposition you couldn't be making any

mistak no Sereno take Hong Cassidy for

instance what about Hong Cassidy he has

invested $1,000 he realizes What a fine

opportunity it is you know him of course

oh yes of course of

course I'm Hopalong

Cassidy well I I certainly am happy to

meet you Mr Cassidy since you're an

investor and you know exactly what we're

trying to do you'll be glad to lend your

support that depends on what I

see you say you're digging an irrigation

ditch oh yes yes we're working on it

right now where East of

town I think I'll ride out and have a

look at that uh that's a quite little

trip Mr Cassidy oh that's all right I

need the exercise well I'll write out

with you I have to go out there anyway

just give me a moment to leave these

papers with our secretary Miss May

sure fin

[Applause]

please well goodbye sir no no no sit

down we'll have a little chat no I think

we've had quite a chat you will excuse

me

please

[Music]

fellas know anything about hopong

Cassidy I'll say we do he's the sheriff

of this County and a bad ombre to tangle

with wants to see what we're doing on

the ditch well let him look boys are out

there I know you better take a run out

SL I want him to look busy when we get

there sure I'll make it look

[Music]

good

when Dale and I left the office I

wondered what had become a red who was

supposed to have waited for me outside I

hoped he wasn't buying more

land Dale began to offer excuses why the

work we were about to see hadn't

progressed farther pending a bank loan

which they were negotiating today they

had only begun a preliminary survey from

now on work would progress at full speed

I could tell he was uneasy he seemed to

sense I knew what he was up

to

boss is bringing somebody out get

[Music]

busy

[Music]

hold

it red explained what he had seen and it

sounded more like an excuse than an

accusation slim out of eyed he had seen

red acting suspicious and had gone after

him to find out why Dale raged because

the surveyor slept when they should have

been hard at

[Music]

work from what I had seen I knew that

the surveyor were a phony setup I could

tell too that red was beginning to

realize he had made a bad

investment what you guys been doing I

expect you to be another mile up the

line see you later right we headed back

toward Twin

[Music]

Rivers now on you better keep on your

[Music]

toes

you wait out here I'll be out in a

minute hi Mr DOD oh what can I do for

you Mr Cassidy did uh rivers and Dale

borrow some money from your bank I'm

sorry but that's personal business I

realize that but I'm asking as the

sheriff in that case yes yes they

borrowed $5,000 to start digging the

irrigation ditch but it was well secured

by what they deposited a check for

15,000 on a Chicago Bank of course we

only took the check for collection but

this morning we got back a telegram

saying that it had cleared mhm uh may I

see the telegram

yes but why should they wire instead of

sending the money in the usual you away

I asked them to rivers and Dale needed

the loan as soon as I receiv received

confirmation I deposited the money to

their account I see well thank you very

much Mr Todd glad to accommodate

anytime frankly I'm worried about

Cassidy nosing around the way he's doing

now we can clean up 15 maybe 20,000 a

couple of weeks but we've got to get him

off our necks he gets in our way it'll

be his tough luck yeah by the way what

you do with that fell you were waiting

for this morning but left him what right

there sure I'm surprised Frank that's

dangerous you know that now you better

send the boys out right away and dispose

of him okay it'll make you feel any

easier as red and I headed toward the

bar 20 I kept thinking about that

telegram from the Chicago

Bank maybe it was because we had just

passed the spot where where the road

Cuts over the hills to Buxton where the

telegraph office is located anyhow I

couldn't understand why rivers and Bale

were in such a hurry they couldn't wait

for their check to clear in the usual

way I decided to forget

[Music]

then the man had been shot through the

head he looked Vaguely Familiar we began

to look for

identification

[Music]

[Music]

there get me

[Music]

covered

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

we

[Music]

the body had been identified as that of

Joe Benson the telegraph operator from

Brookton he left a wife and four kids

who would now be the real victims of the

brutal killing I figured the murder had

to tie in with the telegram from Chicago

to the Twin River bank I asked red to

ride to Buxton and find out more about

that telegram he couldn't get back

before dark so I told him to meet me

outside the office of Riverson

[Music]

Dale while waiting for red to return

from brexton I searched the office of

rivers and Dale I didn't know what it

was I hoped to find but there had to be

something

there were two bank deposit books on St

Louis Banks and under the names of

Riverton and

Lindale somewhere in the office I knew

there must be a list of others who had

put their hard-earned money into this

[Music]

window put up your hands Mr

Cassidy Miss Mayo I have found myself in

less embarrassing situations if the

subject isn't too painful maybe you'll

explain why you broke in here I'll be

glad to discuss the whole messy business

with you if you'll handle that no we'll

talk as we are may I put my hands down

no what is

it now we can discuss this a little more

comfortably now what do you know about

this land development company only what

passes across my my desk but you must

know that their selling land they don't

own to put in an irrigation ditch they

have no intentions of digging are they

aren't they well this whole thing smacks

of grand Larsen you seem quite sure of

that of that and other things including

murder murder that's right now I feel

pretty sure you're not involved so you

won't mind answering a few questions

about rivers and Dale will you Mr

Cassidy even if I wanted to which I

don't

I'm in no position to betray my

employer's

confidences I was pretty sure that would

be your

answer HBY

red get on your horses come on Miss

Mayo well from what this paper says I

can't say that I blame you for trying to

get back the money that rivers and Dale

swindled from you and your friends but

there's one thing that's bothering me

why didn't you cooperate with me from

the very beginning I got panicky I

didn't think that's a trouble folks just

don't think if they did they'd be

careful what kind of schemes they put

their hard-earned dollars into isn't

that the truth well it's all here looks

like the folks will get back most of the

money they invested oh that's fine well

young lady you're free to go home have

your Sheriff get in touch with me and

I'll send the bank book to him and he

can go about Distributing the money

thanks ever so much I can never repay

you you're very welcome by
