Counsel

G. M. Lindsay for plaintiff . No counsel contra .

Lindsay v. Hamburg Bremen Insurance

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

The letters of the defendant’s agent to the plaintiff, and his replies thereto, constitute a written contract between the parties. It was for the Court, therefore, to ascertain the intention of the parties and to declare their rights thereunder. Simpson v. Pegram, 112 N. C., 541. The services to be rendered and their value were fixed by that written contract, upon which we think his Honor put the proper construction. Affirmed.
