WASHINGTON, ID. c., April u. 1871
My Dear Nr. Caldwell: On Tho 30 Il
Iust. .he second note OF the loan I negoti.
sted in December last falls due. The fra,
for 81, 032.50, which fell due March 18th
| was compelled TO meet at the grayest ms.
sible Inconvenience 10 myself. | drew on
Mi. Fisher for the amount, but he declined
to notice the draft. The note which falls
due on the Goth inst. is for S2,5,S 81. II
seems extremely hard and unjust that I
should be compelled TO pay this money. IL
Is no more my debt than the debt OF Prcsi-
dent Grant OF Queen Victoria. and cannot
Lclicve that you and Mr.. Fisher, both or
either, intend 10 leave this burden on me.
II you do, II will crush me. | have no
possible means wherewith TO meet these
notes, and | beg of you and Mr.. Fisher,
either or both. TO come TO my relief.
In a letter from MIR. Fisher, under date
OF Jan. oath, he writes me as follows.
"In regard TO the So, 900 which YOU Dor.
rowed end loaned 10 Mr.. Caldwell, or rather
Mr.. Pratt, as il was assumed by Mr.. Pratt,
because you received from him $4,000
land bonds for the amount. Upon my
visiting the Office for the first time NJ
ter you left the city, Mr.. Pratt said
he and Mr.. Harrington gave to you
their individual bonds, and they
Kept the money; and In order TO obtain the
money. and get It ont of Mr.. Prat's hands,
j obtained $4,000 land bonds, and took
what supposed TO be money, but 1t was
not there. Part Of il had been misapplied
TO other matters; $4,000 Of ii / loaned 10
3ir. CGldireH the balance went into house
at Little Rock without my knowledge or
consent. and Pullman cars. &C.. &C."
Now, my dear sir, if this be a correct
statement, may | not hope that YOU will re-.
lieye me to the extent OF the $4,000. and
Mr.. Fisher viii surely pay the other SiO.-
eco.
As wholly innocent third party doing
my best TO oct aS a sincere and steadiast
friend TO both Of you, ought not 10 be LETT
exposed TO financial rum and personal hui
initiation.
Please read this to Mr.. Fisher. | have
advised of my writing YOU.
