Northern Pacific, to r. Billings, at
Woodstock, Vermont, Billings replied:
Il have Just received your telegram OF
yesterday, giving the substance Of an arti

without foundation. had no communi-
cation, either verbal or written, with Mr..
Gould about Northern Pacific stock.
have not said they were selling too high,
and have not sold a share of my large
holdings. To the person who said that
Gould was Wiling to 90 into a pool to buy
large blocks of Northern Pacific,
replied that it was not in my
line to go into Wall street pools
and did not trust them. / was very busy
at the time, and turned off the person
quite abruptly. My faith in Northern Pa
Cihc is stronger than ever. The floating
debt, when added to the bonded debt, will
not make a total debt of more than $31, 900

pei, and having great land grant, will be
a small burden.
