bourhood of the Eagle Ruins; you asked MIR Lynch
# he would, when the letter had ceased 20 be used

replied that there would be no use for that as the
letter would be published; that Mr. Davis had been
there and It, and concluded to publish L.. I'M

still think that the letter considered entirely pub
