Dear Sir:
We beg to inform that we have been instructed by our Home Office to open a credit in your favor for $100--
We are transferring this amount equal to Lires 887-50 to your disposal with the Credito Italiano, Milano, and we Are instructing them also to pay you a further sum of about Lires 500., if you should require it. Very truly yours,
THE EQUITABLE TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK. EB/GH

Dear Dad:-
Rec'd this today. The Credito Italiano is the Equitable Trust's agent
in Milano. Have written to the Equitable Trust in Paris telling them that when the Credito
Italiano notifies them that I have exhausted the 887 lires to let you know, so that
you can make another deposit with the N.Y. office. In the meantime - while they are
writing and waiting for an answer, I can use the 500 lires. I will try to make the 687 go
as far as possible, but this arrangement will merely make things quicker when necessary.
Thanks very much for this first deposit. Harvey
