| DEAR SfR-Yours of the 2lst inst. also one of
even date have been received. As before stated
regret that it is not in my power to make imme-
aiate payment OF your account against the trustee
IN trust. Had the money personally would be
pleased to advance it; but as you are well aware,
the failure of the Union Pacific Railroad Company
| to pay up in money as agreed has cramped nearly
the rustee in trusts note for S. ,020 o. payable
five months after date, with interest as specified
This is the shortest time can make consistent
with other obligations. Still, if / find can do
better will do SO. Respectfully.

President B. Young, Trustee in Trust
DEAR SIK-Your valued favor of the 23d inst.
was handed me yesterday by your Mr.. Elerbeck,
but note named therein was not enclosed as
stated, Mr.. Ellerbeck retaining it. He, however,
told me 1t was for the amount specified,
5000 ~ at five months with interest,
after maturity at seven per cent per annnm, which
informed him could not be accepted as settle
ment. shs all, however, accept your obligation
at five months for the amount that is due for
count and interest on same, AMI bearing interest
at ten per cent per annum from date. If 1fanything
ned he said on the subject OF interest it may not
be ont of place to remark that during he
time from 10th August, 1866, to lst January,
1869, have, and since that time Godbe Il Co.
have, paid over one per cent Per month interest
for borrowed money, and in desiring you to pay
ten per ceot per aDnum 1t appears to me to be
very fair and reasonable. aud therefore for these
and reasons in recent correspondence / really
feel myself compelled to press for settlement at
this basis. PRAY give me specific answer to this
proposition immediately and very much obge,
very respectfully, yours, w. S. GODBE.
GODBE TO YOUNG.

CITY have discon' inued further negotiations in
rea'io to the settlement of my ella IN gainst you
as trustee in trust tor the balance of $l0,020 81,
with interest thereon from The time it became
due. cow beg most respectfully to call your
attention 'nce moe to this subject, and to ask
You To grant me an immediate settlement AS
before stated, am constrained to be somewhat
pressing N this solicitation, as my present neces-
Stiles are urgent and duty to my crenitors de-
mands as much at my hands. Beo going East
in the beginning of last month proposed to Mr..
Ellerbeck and Mr.. ID. II. Wells to accept from
them, in liquidation OF the clam, the principal
only, waving all claim for accrued interest, condi.
toned, however, upon payment then, and without
prejudice If not then settled. have therefore,
now to rebew my former requ st for prin .ipal,
together with Interest to which consider ad-
visedly myself justly entitled. am aware that
you may regard me- as being eXactng. If not
usurioDs IN urging this demand; but, while do not
SO view It, believe me that consideration for past
associations wouldlead me still to waive this claim
for interest As tis, however, tel reluctantly
compelled to insist on settlement on anove basis
of principal and interest, failing which shall be
forced 10 the most unpea ant extremity OF having
recourse to legal measures. Very respectfully
yours. w. 8. GODBE.

President p. YoUyG;-
DEAR SR-Owing to my present relationship to
the Church of which you are the President as
much as to pa It associations am greatly panied
to be under the necessity of placing the claim
have against you as trustee in trust in the hands
Of Marshall Carter for collection. My asons
for doing may be thus briefly expressed;-
First consider the claim for interest on the debt
at ten per cent PR annum strictly just one.
Second this interest, amounting to over 81 1000,
is too great sum 20 lose under existing circum-
Stances which you are aware are stringent to all,
but especially in my case, owing in no small
degree to the withdrawal of the peoples patron
age, which it is but fair to STATE Is greatly the
suit of your influence and policy. Finally anxious
as l feel TO avoid the unpIeasantness of q suit
at law scIf-preservation no less than self
respect nccesstatcs my doing You may
think it strange on my part that
should refuse now TO accept settlement on the
basis Of the offer made two months since in
spirit OF compromise. To this m say that as
that proposition was not accented then consider
IN. self II der no obligation to accept it now, any
more than that consider my present offer 10
waive 81 100 for the sake of settl- menr now bind
ing on me from this time if not accepted at once.
Very res occtfullv yours. w. 5. GODBE.
