On May 8, 1964, McGlone (P) was injured in a fall on premises owned by Chambley. On February 21, 1967, P sent to Lacey (D) an authorization form authorizing D to represent P in the personal injury action for a contingent fee. This authorization was answered by D's partner, which told P that D was in the Legislature and will return the middle of March, at which time he will contact you. A copy of this letter was sent to D and D wrote on that copy the word 'fine' and returned that copy to his partner. The next correspondence occurred on May 11 when P then learned that D had done nothing with her case and the statute of limitations had run on May 8. The issue before the court was whether there was an employment contract between P-D.
