sibly can go without running myself past
all recovery. If you will look at copy OF
our agreement in your hands, you will find

Bonds and So, 900 of LIST Mortgage.
In order to square myself with my friends

the remainder of our matters stand until

correspondence on the subject yourself. In
other words, 1 will leave the matter in your
hands until the Fort Smith enterprise is out
of the woods, and its tangled affairs we'll
smoothed out.

Ny DEAR BLAINE:-It is the greatest
Importance that the parties ewning the in
terest in the $4,000, and invested by them
in the Northern Pacific Railroad, should re-
ceive what is due them; and unless some
thing is done about it, l shall be forced to
turn the document over to them, and let you
settle directly with them. l am constantly
reminded about it, and they all say, Why
don't Blaine deliver to you our interest
Mr.. Caldwell tells me he has paid you his
last note due you, and gave you the $50, 900
Land Bonds in addition. | should judge it
was for your interest to settle the matter at
once, and have no further delay. You must
be your own judge in the matter, but my
advice is to settle it at once. l remain,
WARREN FISHER, Jr.
Mr.. Blaine's letter of Oct. 1, 1871,
already published, is the answer to
this letter.
BosToN, Oct. "a, 1871.
My DEAR BLAINE Yesterday receiv-
ed your favor of the 21st inst, to which
replied by telegram. 'Mr c. has not been
in this city for four weeks. He is now in St.
Louis
can get no information when Mr.. Cald-
well is to return; when he does, will lay
your letters before him. In the mean time
L can say nothing in regard to the matter
further than what / have heretofore told
you, that Mr.. Caldwell represented to me
that he had paid for your account, and for
which he has your receipts, all but s., 800
of the $4,000 which you loaned, and for
which you received as collateral $4,000 of
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Land Grant
Bonds, which you since sold at 80 cents on
the dollar, realizing therefor $4,000, leav-
ing you now in advance of funds, even if
Mr.. Caldwell had paid you nothing.
| have heretofore advised you that had
been frequently importuned for the Securi-
ties of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
as last resort had to surrender your obli-
CATION for the benefit of the parties in inter
est, who ROW say that after so long delay
they will not take the securities, but require
you to refund the money. l remain,
WARREN FISHER, Jr.
