THE FOLLOWING LETTERS:
CORNER BuI.E CASTLE AND CONSTANCE sTs.,
New ORLEANS, Oct. 10th, 1877.
Ny DEAR MADAM: send you by this mail the
flowers l made of your good husbands hair
and your own. 1t would have been nicer, but
l had not quite hair enough. Some time ! will
get little hair of your dear little ones, and
your father and mother also. and make you a
large family branch of hair work for your
room. The flower has been made long time
but thought perhaps you might be in the city,
and could give it to You %yse ont
since had the pleasure of seeing you last. In
regard to the letter, Invent up to DOnaldsonVille
to speak to you aboutsit. feel sure it must be
among Weber's papers, as he had it in his
pocket when he left the city for Bayou Sara
the last, time as Anderson and Capt. jerks
went to the boat with him. and they were
speaking of it and other business then at the
time. MIR. Weber expected to return
to New Orleans in few days
otherwise Anderson and Capt. Jen ks
would have kept the letter here as it belonged
to them all. 1t may have got out of the en-
velope and slipped in among other papers. 1t
was addressed to Anderson & ID. A. Weber.
After reading it you will see that it is Of no
use benefit to you, but really it is of use TO
us. If you will once more look we'll for it, and
should you find it, will see you are remuner-
ated well for your time aud trouble in searching.
Pardon me saying this to you. I
sincerely trust you will not misunderstood me.
Please write me when convenient, az will
be anxious to hear from you and should you
visit the city, captain, my mother, and all my
family will be very happy to see you.
Hoping you and your family are enjoying
l1fe's best blessing, believe me your obedient
servant. Signed, AGNES ID. jerks.
Madame D. A. Weber.
Q. Is that your letter?
A.. Yes sir.
Butler-I will also read the following:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. Esd. 1677.-My Dear
Tom: Don't you think it about time you an
swered my letter. 1 have waited patiently
nearly two months. There is going to be an
investigation this winter, and should not be
surprised were you summoned to Washington.
What has become of all the boys, including L..
! B. Bostle. Let INC hear from you soon. Do
not think that have given up the fight, l
| wish you could succeed in tracing and getting
possession of that letter. Send to Weber and
myself. will guarantee youa
COOL THOUSAND DOLLARS
if you do get it. Have you made any effort
lately? Remember me kindly at home. Pit

looked up ''letter" here referred to long ere
within was written. Pray don't fail to return
this to me. sincerely trust this matter will
be ''inviolable.' A. D.J.
| Q. You knew Anderson expected and did
get the letter containing the guaranty, as he
| believed. Now. he was writing to you for that
letter and offering you 81, 600 for it. Did you
not understand that was the letter he was
writing for?
A. Certainly not, because there was no i'm
portance attached to that in my mind. Inever
thought about that letter. The guarantees
were the order of the day, or in demand at that
time, and if they had wanted one from the
SUBLIME PORTE
they should have got it. /
@. Did Anderson ever talk of any other
guaranty he had?
A. He talks 50 much that one can't KEEP
trace of him. 1 don't know of any other.
Q. You believe that letter was among
Weber's papers,
A. That was what Anderson said Where l
speak Of him in my letter it ough
to be put in quotation marks. L
it is not. it should have been
@. Did you understand that the letter b,
wanted then was the Sherman letter?

have gone to the trouble Of going to Donaldson
vile.
