RE:	A97A2594 .	Gene E. Wade, et al v. James C. Howard, Jr., et al

Dear Mr. Murray:

Enclosed please find my letter to you of March 24, 1998 which was returned by the Post Office along with the check issued payable to my order dated March 13, 1998. As we discussed, this amount will be payable to the trial court should the award of frivolous damages remain after reconsideration and/or application for certiorari to the Supreme Court.

I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about this matter and I wish you the best of luck in resolving it to your satisfaction.

If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III
