Dear Mr. Pucci,

Thank you for your reply. Mr. Gordon, the plumber,
hasn't answered my inquiry about his availability
on July 30, but both he and the engineer, Mr. Esposito
have assured me they could come to Boston to testify
on August 6. 

You may or may not know that the Hearing before the
Plumbing Board in 2013, initially scheduled for
May 30, was then postponed on very short notice
to June 27, at the behest of your client. My witness, 
Mr. Gordon, flying in from Florida for the Hearing, 
will make reservations and purchase plane tickets, 
for which I have promised to reimburse him, well in 
advance of his trip, cancellation of which will incur
substantial expenses. Before making a commitment
as to the date, I wish to have from you a promise
that if the hearing on the date of which we agree 
is postponed at the behest of your client, or on 
account of your client's failure to appear, that
you will then reimburse me for all my direct and 
indirect expenses in consequence of postponement
or cancellation of the Hearing, specifically including, 
but not to the exclusion of others, the travel expenses 
of Mr. Gordon.

Sincerely yours,
 Ernst J. Meyer
