City of Mobile; Attorneys' Fee Appeal Dear Armand: : Pursuant to the agreement Ed Still and I made with you by telephone a week ago, I am forwarding to you our escrow check No. 1840 in the amount of $1000.00 as the retainer, we agreed to advance you for representing us in the attorneys fee appeal. I am still waiting to hear from you about the final terms of our fee arrangement before setting it all out in writing. If I don't hear from you beforehand, I will see you when I bring the family to Charleston during the week of August 15. By the way, the most recent CCH supplement contains Common- wealth of Pennsylvania v. O'Neill, 14 EPD § 7699 (E.D. Pa 1977), where attorneys were awarded a one-third bonus because of the contingency nature of their Title VII case. Best regards. CRAWFORD, BLACKSHER, FIGURES & BROWN Dricrirm a .
