Dear Michael:
I think we are on the same page. So far as I can tell, your letter suggests only one subject of real disagreement, and I thought that was already resolved. According to your letter, we disagree about only one thing, and that is, "what is the current highest value use of the Shore House at xxxx xxxxxx in Mantoloking." I thought we had already agreed, two weeks ago, to let Don have for the duration of the project. My plan is to give him a written contract in which his use of the property is an essential condition of her employment. It is the only way that I can form a business relationship with him which amounts to a hill of beans.
I don't see any need to modify any of our original agreements from December 2009. Those six recorded documents (3 each in two counties) cover just about everything. You reaffirmed them by affidavit last summer.
I have plenty of powers but have hardly exercised any of them. We do everything by ad hoc/on the spot agreement. Why change that now?
The most amazing and extraordinary things I have done in reliance on your Power of Attorney are (1) that I hired Don as my/your/ out attorney; (2) that I opened a new account and have gone so far approximately $18,000.00 into debt with Westlaw (Thomson-Reuters) in reliance on the logic and terms of the Power of Attorney that you would ultimately take responsibility for that account; (3) I have committed to Melinda by asking her to support me in client intake and public relations---it hasn't been a brilliant success so far, but Melinda has logged fantastic amounts of time and put in a great deal of highly creative, imaginative, and exclusively positive effort. Melinda is definitely one of the debt/expenses I have incurred with your knowledge and consent.
An agent is always entitled to payment of his personal debts incurred on behalf of and in the service of his Principal, but our December 2009 Powers of Attorney and the Assignments of Rights which incorporate and reaffirm the Powers of Attorney make that right to reimbursement clear and express (which is in my favor)---but there's no express due date or time frame for payment (which is in your favor).
If we rewrote any of the agreements, or entered into a new agreement I guess we'd have to impose specific deadlines for you to pay Don what you owe him today, what you might owe him or some successor lawyer in the future, and for you to pay the Westlaw bill, in addition to addressing the question of whether you've been paying me a salary or wages or just an advance on reasonable salary and wages during the past four years. Do you really want to address all those questions right now? Or ever? We have been dealing with everything in a very friendly and informal way, and I think that is A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL, don't you? Do you really want to change our business model now?
I incurred these debts (Don and Westlaw, and Melinda) with your complete knowledge and approval. My debt to Don is a debt/expense I have incurred on your behalf. Westlaw is an debt/expense I have incurred on your behalf. Put those two together and I have gone far deeper into debt on your behalf, as your agent, than anything you are promising right now. In fact, your whole goal seems to be to avoid going into debt, which is a goal I can respect, although if I had followed it, I would have been unable to be of any service to you whatsoever since last July. So far you have not taken responsibility for these obligations incurred by me as your agent on your behalf, nor have you promised to do so. I am in no rush to try to do anything, except take care of Don because she deserves nothing less. But I do not know how long this can last. That Westlaw Account is absolutely essential to all the services you want me to perform. Don is absolutely essential to the services you want me to perform. All of this is covered in the December 2009 Power of Attorney, Assignment of Rights, and Warranty Deeds. But please read the interlinear response I have attached here in response to your letter.
