Enclosed is a copy of a preliminary rough draft of the appeal 
in this matter. All criticisms, deletions, additions and any 
other type or form of change which you may suggest will be 
greatly appreciated.
I think in particular any ideas you have concerning the format 
are important. As you will see, there is no particular plan of 
organization in this draft, which lends itself to greater 
flexibility in anticipation of your comments. You will also 
note that the Argument portion is yet to be drafted. Your 
prompt attention will be appreciated.
