Dear Ms. Cochran: 

I acknowledge receipt of your March 19, 1986, cover letter

his testimony at the preliminary injunction hearing. As soon as I 

have finished with the works, I shall return them to you. 

I would add that, when you write the court in the future, 

please note on your letter that you have sent a copy of the letter 

to all other counsel in the case. I am, therefore, with this letter 

forwarding a copy of your March 19 cover letter to all other counsel. 5 k J 

Sincerely yours, 

Myron H. Thompson
