Letter from J. Charles Linthicum to B. K. Purdum, 1915

COPY. October 14, 191b. В . K. Purdum,Esq . , Sec., Md . State "Normal School Bldg. Commission, Annapolis, Md. My dear Mr. purdum: I note that in my absence the Northern Central Build¬ ing and Loan Association with v/hom ?e deposited Ten Thousand Dollars ( $10, 000) gave note and bond for the same and in doing so agreed to pay 2>b% interest and give bond. It was not my intention uh; t these gentlemen should pay more than we receive from the other institutions with whom we have deposited the funds belonging to the Com- mi salon, I believe it would be unfair to discriminate against the Building Association merely because it did not know what others were paying. I would, therefore, uggest if it meets with your views, that you return to the Northern Central Building and Loan Association the l/2^ interest to wit, Fifty D liars, so that all may be upon the same footing. I should not like to have it said of the Com¬ mission that we treated any one of our depositories different from the others. With kind regards, and hoping you had a pleasant trip to New York, I am Very respectfully yours. (signed) J. Chas . Linthicum
