b. G., April u, lS7l.-My Dear Mr.. Cald-
we'll: IN the 18th inst. the second motto
of the loan | negotiated in December
last. falls due. The first, for f2,u32 80,
which fell due March |, | was compelled
To meet ut the gravest possible inronven-
fence. | drew on Mr.. Fisher for the
amount, but he declined to notice tho
draft. The note which falls due on the
18th inst. il for S2,51S.3j. IL seems eX-
tremely card and unjust that | should
be compelled to pay this money. II Is
no more NV debt than h debt Of Presi-
dent Grant or Queen Victoria, and | can
not believe that you and Mr.. Fisher in
tend to leave the burden on me. If you
do it will crush me. / have no possible
means whcrewith to meet these notes,
and | beg of you and MIR. Fisher, either
or both, TO come To my relief.
In u letter from Mr.. Fisher under date
of January q, he writes me rs follows:
ain regard to the So, 900 which you bor-
rowcd and loaned to Mr.. Caldwell, or
rather MIR. Pratt as il was assumed by
Mr.. Pratt because o received from
him S5O,0W land bonds for tho amount.
Upon my visiting the Office for the first
time after you left the city, Mr.. Pratt
said he and Mr.. harrington gave to you
their individual bond and they kept the
money, and in order to obtain the money
and get il u of Mr.. Pratt's hands, l
obtained $4,000 land bonds and took
what | supposed to be money, but it WAS
not there. Part of IL had boon misap-
piled to other matters 1913, 200 Oft loaned
Mr.. Caldwell. The balance went into q
house at Little Rock without my knowl-
edge or consent, and Pullman ears, etc.,
etc. Now, my dear sir, if this be a cor.
rect statement, may | not hope you will
relieve to the extent of $1,000, and Mr..
Fisher will surely pay the other $4,000.
AS II wholly innocent third party, doing
my best to act as n sincere and stead
fast friend to both of You, ! Ought not to
be left exposed to tinaucialruin and per-
sonal humiliation. Sincerely yours,
J.. q. BLAINE.
