Then these fellows told John
that he had been too fast; that the
whole situation had changed; that
Chamberlain had gone to New
York to make arrabgemedts to raise

nothing but ST Patterson's word for it
which is not generally considere'
legal tender for fact. But if The
letter ever did exist, and if Hampton

then it was suppressed here at tht
instance of John, who, between the
signing and the copying of it, hat
eff. cted one of his lightning change:
of political base. But, if it had beer
published, John would not have beer
embarrassed, because he could easll,

would have believed him, so far a
yesterday was concerned.
