This is a follow-up letter from Frederick Champ to George Eccles, dated March 18, 1944. Champ's concerns regarding tax loss were not resolved by the U.I.C. at this point. He continued to reach out to have his tax loss deficits refunded by the company as they stated that an agreement would likely be made for the company to cover such losses.

This letter from May 26, 1944 is the letter prompting Frederick Champ to begin reaching out to George Eccles about the United States Chamber of Commerce memberships for several Utah companies. Donald Marcellus, the Director of Field Activities for the Chamber of Commerce, contacted Champ for assistance in renewing the memberships for a few companies, including the Utah-Idaho Central Railroad. He explains the concerns of the Chamber and the need for Champ to help due to the limited coverage of the Chamber's field agents.

Champ's June 1, 1944 letter portrays the true financial hardship that the Utah-Idaho Central Railroad had been experiencing since the late 1920s. Champ explains to Donald Marcellus that the future operations of the U.I.C. are in question, that they are expending very little outside of paying off debt and maintaining their operations, and that it is very unlikely that their Chamber memberships will be renewed.
