AMOUNTING CRY.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. Sd, 1871
My DEAR Mr.. FIsHER,-I write Mr..
Caldwell this day earnestly asking him
to relieve me from the very
pressing and painful embarrassment
entailed upon me by raising the money
/ loaTed to you and him last winter.
Mr.. Caldwell has paid me $4,000;
there remains SO, 900 due with consid-
cradle interest. There is due also to me,
under contract with you, $4,000 Land
Bonds and S32, 900 lst Mortgage. Re-
tanning I'm my possession the $4,000
Land Bonds as collateral to the note,
there is still due to me $4,000 Land
Bonds and the 1st Mortgage Bonds
$4,000. Ihave already made one prop
osition for settlement, to which / call
Mr.. Caldwell's attention. Imust have
the matter settled in some way, and at
once.
Pray communicate with me on the
matter.
Sincerely yours,
J. G. BLAINE
w. FISHER, JR., ESQ.
P. SIT is very important to me that
have some Bonds next week. If you
don't accept the proposition l have
made, suppose you consider this:-Let
me retain the Land Bonds now in pos
session as satisfaction for loaned money,
and you pay me the $40, 900 Land Bonds
and So, 900 1st Mortgage due to me un-
der the contract. do not make this
proposition to be bound by it; merely
suggest it. But | must have the mat
ter settled in some way quickly.
Boston, Nov. 4, 1871
My DEAR BLA1NE,-Your letter of
the Sd inst. received. I hope Mr.. Cald-
well will respond to your request
promptly and satisfactorily. I cannot
say anything until see Mr.. Caldwell,
who keeps out of the way of Creditors,
but probably he will call upon me soon.
You have had more Bonds than you
state ii. your letter. Ifyou have given
any to parties at Washington or dis
posed of them to others, it is no concern
of mine, and of course must be recount
ed for in any settlement hereafter.
] remain yours, &c. &C.,
w. FISHER, JR.
At4cI-Sr Me Nov & 1871
MY DEAR FIsHER,-l am pressed
daily for the bonds, which up to this
time | have never been able to deliver.
Let me assure you, that if l were suf-
fering in this matter alone would not
bother you, but wait in silence the is
sue of events. But how can | do this
with parties who have paid their money
earnestly demanding of me the consid-
Grafton promised by me, but which l
am ready to receive any kind ofreason-
able proposition you may make. 1t is
not "a question of money-making with
me. 1t is simply question of saving
my word with Others. I WM sacrifice
q great deal to get q settlement. feel
assured of your friendly disposition to-
wards me, and therefore do not wish
to seem importunate and troublesome;
but if you knew the agonies 1 have suf-
fered in this matter during the past six
months, you would pity me I am sure,
and make great effort to relieve me.
Pray let me k,aOW achdt lam to Erpect.
Yours very sincerely,
J. G. BLAINE.

BLAINE A LITTLE AHEAD.
Boston, Nov. 10, 1871.
MY DEAR BLAINE.-I am in receipt |
of your favor of the Sth inst. from
which am led to infer that the con-
tracts I made through you to your
Eastern friends have not been fulfilled
on my part; but such is not the fact, as
| have delivered each and every one of
them all the securities in accordance
with the contracts, and they have sur
rendered to me my obligations. You
are well aware of the condition of the
road, and that you have received your
full proportion of the bonds to which
you were entitled under the Eastern
contracts, when you consider the length
of the road only completed. I think
you can readily see that / can make no
proposition further than 'as the road
to deliver you bonds in ac-
cordance. know but little ofyour OBJ
legations to deliver bonds to others; but
taking into account the 100000 bonds
you sold to Tom Scott, and the amount
of money you received on the Eastern
contracts, our relative positions finan-
cially in the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad bear wide contrast.
Mr.. Caldwell is here, but l have not
seen him; still | presume he has paid
proper attention to your letter ad-
dressed to him.
remain with kind regards.

HOW BLAINE DIDN'T PAY.
The following was in reply to Mr..
Blaine's letter of April 18th, 1872, al
ready published
.-e-.-., BOSTON, April 1G, 1872.
MY DEAR BLAINE.-Your favor of
the 18th inst, reached ME this morning.
! am surprised at its contents. l have
at various times, when you
were comparatively poor, very large
sums of money, and never have you
paid me one dollar from your own
pocket, either principal or interest, 1
have paid sundry amounts to others to
whom you were indebted, and these
debts you have allowed to stand un-
paid 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
