nave paid sundry amounts to others to
have allowed to stand unpaid like the notes
which hold. have placed you in positions
whereby you have received very 'large sums
of money without one dollar of expense to
you, and you ought not to forget the act on
my part. Of all the parties connected with
the Little Rock g. Fort Smith Railroad, no
one has been SO fortunate as yourself In OBJ

political position you were able to work Off
al your bonds at very high price, and the
fact is well known to others as well my
self. Would your friends in Maine be satisfied
if they knew the facts? Are my associates
Northern Pacific Railroad and you not make
the Investment as per agreement? The course
you have thought proper to take in regard
to my request is rather a poor one, taking
your relations with me, and again ask you
to consider it and grant it.. You will find 1T

the best. If you again Decline shall be

them, and it is useless to mention them at this
