My DEAR SIR-I received, last evening, your friendly
note, which, though addressed to me, contains express
sions which apply equally to those friends who have
acted with me in your affairs. l have, therefore,
shown II to some Of them this morning. i
We all agree that you greatly over estimate the service
rendered; it was no great merit to extend to an honest
man the aid which enabled him to make his own means
available to resume an enviable position in the mercau-
tile world; ON the other hand, we appreciate as highly as
you can the mutual regard and sympathy which recent
events have engendered between you and us.
These events, though Notifying to you, entail no dis
grace; but they have afforded you an unwelcome oppor-
tunity Of showing resources unlocked for by those un-
acquainted with your affairs, resources adequate to meet
all eDgagments,e even under the whitening effects of pro-
test, and that within thirty days of the disaster. 1
know no other instance under such extensive engage
ments as yours. #NH st
your good friends at the West will not think less highly
Of you, that instead of availing Of the guarantee and
support which they have recently, and in so noble a
manner extended TO other banking houses in st. Louis
for the public good, you return to them strong in your
own strength to enjoy in increased measure the cond-
dence and sympathy they have SO long yielded to you.
With sincere regard, very faithfully full your s friend,
a. D. BACON, Esq, st. Louis.
