Content Description Reports that Knox's agent, Nathan Dane, called on him yesterday to inspect the power of attorney Mr. and Mrs. [John] Wall gave to Mr. Winslow. Dane believes that Winslow can not use the power of attorney to sign over Wall's interest in the patent. Deblois reports he is the only one who can now complete the deal, and he is being prevented from doing so by a "special order." Wrote to Mr. Wall on 18 May to see if the deal could be completed, which he believes Wall will approve. Will write when he has further information.
