I think city property will decline this winter and in the spring before the emigration commences. The sales are on the 15th July. I think the money could be doubled in less than one year. I shall not do anything at loaning money, but if I had it would buy drafts on New York and could make enough to more than pay express charges. Gold costs more.
Gold is worth more than currency.
I have seen General Harney at Fort Leavenworth. Judge Lecompte is holding court here. Charles Fugett is on trial for the murder of Hopps. They have been at work two days and got only 6 jurors. Over 60 had formed an opinion.
