concerned, bat neither Captain Blair nor
any Of his friends have given me an appor-
tuEity 70 90 50.
l believe those letters are genuine, and
here assert that they are genuine. | say
this because l have received o large number
of letters from Captlin Blair-perbaps
ffty-and they were never denied or ques-
toned. and The TWO pow for the first time
denied we're parts Of a running correspond
ence, and 6ttcd in too well TO be spurious.
