at IL o'clock. Packard lie raising hell
over Your refusal to protest. Morgan
has fo.'owed me like o shado7 since nv
return. Am in doubt as TO whether he
has been employed by the Democrats or
Rep!ublicans: think he is playing into
che hands of both In casa he! 10 with
me, do not stop, but go 10 Crops, and i
VIII follow as as soon as possible. Tnere
Is no doubt but they have changed my
statement so as fo, make it an intimide-
ton protest. PitlSin refuses to show it

their damned dirty work, even to save

the whole thing, Pitkin, Kellogg, hell

stating that I had given Burke the in.
formation as he requested and Burke's
reply. stated, however, that in case ho
cav you, to show you my letter and ash
your advice as one here acting in accord.
No doubt it will bring him to the city.
and should he call act carefully.
! doubt Il he is able TO zubstaptiate his
statements, and 7 would not give q con-
tinental for them unless he can. Haze
you learned anything about the high
joints? They are cursing me heavily,
aud assert that have sold out and am
going to Montalda to night. Will meet
you at II sharp, If there is anything new.
