gratulate you on the recovery Of your
Eldoradoic letter, which so long has rest

Did you exclaim "is that the letter which

sands Of them" If you only knew how to
find them like the lrIshmen, sits many q
foine feathers you might have got il they
had been given to you" But alas there's
the rub. Nay, l am not mad, and really
have the highest admiration for that
administration. / regret to perceive, my
good sir, like many oil your brother
lunatics have chanced 10 meet, you
deem others not and only yourself sane,

there ia a place in Baton Rouge which !
deem suitable residence for you. l
Imagine the regulation costume thereof
would become your bright blonde beauty,
and In the solemn gloom OF that grand
old pile you might mediate in peace on the
leeiing uncertainty OF letters political.
Many thanks for your kind and disinter-

only take a trip through the hills Of East
Feliciana parish and let the bulldozed

treatment would be certain, and thereby
confer great benefit on your
friends. Your ideas seem 10 be very

affairs with political matter. Pardon me,

that tho very life OF the Republic and the
we'll being OF my own party are at the
stake, behold in me true patriot.
N. B.-I would suggest that you keep
that man with the document in sight, stick
closer to him than brother. Grapple him
10 your soul with hooks Of steel. Let
your understanding with him be specific
enough. Should you get the document
let no man grab it from you, but hold

In letter to J. r. Sypher, dated New
Orleans, April 29!h, 1878, Mrs. Jenk's
says:
/ am not aware that I ever offered TO
sell ANYTHING TO you for five thousand
dollars. As Mr.. A. says, knowing so we'll
his Munchausen proclivity, doubt that
you ever made such statement. In fact,
It was quite impossible that You could
have done so.
To this letter sypher replied as fol-
lows:
PHILADELPHIA, May Sd, 1873.
My Dear Mad7m:
Your letter Of the 10th inst. is Just in
receipt. OF course, upon the strength OF
the very pleasant and protracted inter-
view I had with you at Washington, II
would have been impossible for me 10
have named a price at which the letter
could have been obtained. No such
thing was talked Of and have never
expressed nor even formed an opinion ss
to whether you could II you were ever so
willing produce the letter on any condi-
tions or for any consideration. As to
that Weber-Anderson letter, said TO
you Il possessed no special value, and
beyond a curiosity TO know whether it
was In existence or whether II had been
destroyed cared nothing about it.
