After several months of struggle, David Burgess finally concluded arrangements for the purchase of the Delmo Homes through Sherwood Eddy's Co-operative Foundation in New York; the papers include the draft and final copy of Eddy's bid to the FSA (1,3). The STFU petition for injunction in the wage ceiling dispute was dismissed in Federal Court; on this matter see K.T. Sutton to Mitchell, explaining the court's action (10), as well as a WDL memorandum to Sutton, pointing out defects in the petition (2). Two other items are of special interest: Mitchell to Clayton, setting forth his general policy on buying land for the purpose of colonizing STFU members (15); and Mitchell to Lewis Henderson on the current strength and activities of the STFU in Arkansas (26)
