DEAR HoyT,-All goes on WE'LL Caleb ar

"extract" acaS tCeH timed. | wish you would
keep the Albany merchants back. It's rather
bad friendship to get our bills together, and post
them up here, say 80 days sooner than they would
otherwise come. At the worst they would go
into Brokers' hands, WHICH is THE BEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD FOR Me.
have received very begging, coaxing letter
from Mr. Olcott, BUT AS WIswALL's MONEY Is
NOT HALF PAID, | Don't TROUBLE MYSELF
ABOUT IT. Yours truly,
B. F. BUTLER.

Hoyt has inserted in the Albany Daily
Advertiser an extract from a letter dated
Sandy Hill, June 29th," which Butler writes
him DULY 3d twas well timed" The 'cx-
tract is as follows:
SANDY HILL, June 90, 1919.
"The run upon the bank still continues, but
the alarm in this part Of the country is wholly
subsidized. The APPEARANCE OF Mr.. BARKER
IN GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRITS AMONG US, salts
FLED THE PEOPLE THAT THE WAsHINGToN AND
WARREN BANK WOULD SUSTAIN NO LOSS Y HIS
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION. ALL ARE DELIGHTED
WITH THE ACCOMMODATING DISPOSITION OF Mn.
BUTLER, THE PRESIDENT. When there were
more calls than he could satisfy with his own
hands, he called in his neighbors 10 assist him
in paying. And when there were more than all
could attend to, he requested those persons that
came with the bills, to lay them down and take
as many dollars in specie as they left in bills,
and retire to give room for others. Many came
and saw the counter loaded down with gold
and silver, and went away satisfied that all wos
well, AND THAT SANDY HILL was not without
its GRAINS OF GOLD. You may tell your Al.
bany banks that they had better be little more
sparing Of their denunciations, for their own
vaults may have to atone FOR the sins OF their
keepers. Sell all the goods you can for MeSt
notes. But you had better not send up until
the alarm has proved gcoundless, as you may
be trod on in the crowd. When you do send
however, you will always have the preference
over brokers in being waited upon, for we dc
not much admire those leeches upon the body
polite in this part Of the country"
On the 9th of February following, the
notes of the Washington and Warren
Bank were selling in the City of New
York at 373 cts. on the dollar; on the 4tl
of March, 35 cents. Mr.. Butler was mott
fed by Jacob Barker about this time thai
his salary as President could not be paid
much longer, so he resigned the Presidency
i
cided industry and zeal, and with no little
ability, considering that he was then greer
in Finance and hardly 25 years old.
