Copy, letter from Colin Taylor to E Macnamara Is sorry to hear that Bell White is unable to agree to the collection on chestnuts on his property -- notes that every other landowner has expressed willingness to assist -- stresses that every ton of chestnuts sets free 1/2 ton of grain, a consideration he hoped 'would have weighed' with Bell -- notes that the 'feeding value of chestnuts is very small' -- will send a copy of the correspondence to the press. 12 September 1917
