[letters sent separately to Frankie and Bill]
The man you dealt with before, Danny Tane, is gone. I, more n anyone he knew, hate Upper and their nosing around in our business. I hate Upper authority and I'm not going to broker any deals with them. This is why Danny left it to me to consolidate power down here, cause he knew I'd do it right and in such a way that Upper don't get a piece. There's going to be a meeting between Lowers like yourself in about four days. You're invited, along with the Thayans, Hoar people, Crone representatives and anyone else who feels like listening. Before then I want us to chat.
