Also included are an internal memorandum and correspondence relating to a meeting between Scripps and Scott, and of the offer made by Scripps. There is a list of the newspapers and editorial offices owned by Scripps in America. Also included is a telegram of thanks for the expression of sympathy by Scripps [on the death of C.P. Scott].
