AUGUSTA, Me-, 18th Nov, 1869.
MY DEAR Mr., FISHER II is quite
evident to my mind that at the approach
| ing session Of Congress there will be an
| expansion OF the Currency to the amount
| of fifty to seventy five millions Of dollars
The form it will take, 1 think, will bs an
addition to the national bank circulation
North and South
| My object iu writing is to ask in season
| il your friends wouli desire to establish a
bank at Little Rock 1t will be to some
extent q matter Of fayoritism as tJ who
| gets the banks in the several localities,
aud it will bs in my power to ''cast az
Anchor to the Wind ward" in y'r behalf il
you desire it. Please think over the
matter, and confer with MIR. Caldwell
aud let me know y'r desires as soon as you
reach any conclusion. There is, OF course
no special hurry but thought would
suggest the matter N order that you
might mature your thoughts in good time.
| 1t would be we'll to determine the
amount to which you might wish to GO !
a $500. 600 bank ; but in that locality you
would hardly wish to GO 30 deep. But
they are very profitable institutions, gay
$3.50, 600. Yours very truly,
JIG. BLAINE.

son for believing that very advantageous

vice. Lst me have an accurate and relia.
BILE statement OF your financial condition,
ard l can do something, feel very san-
guine, with Thoma, A. SCOTT.
l think you will not deem me an
reasonable when l again and persistently
| urge that ought TO have good notes for
| the s25, 600 and that ought also to have
the Ss2 600 bonds, which were made by
Yourself and Mr.. Caldwell tho express
basis of the s25. 900 loan. do not believe
y'r company has a stronger or more
equitable and legal claim than mine,
while its personal hardships to me are
bitter and burning and humiliatipg to the
last degree. Sincerely your friend,
j. g. BLAINE.
