"AuGIJsrA. Me-, 18TH Nov, lS6a.-MY
DEAR MR. FISHER: 1t Is quite evident 10
my mind that at the approaching 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, think, will be an addition to the ma
| tional bank circulation West and South.
NY object in writing is to ask in season If
your friends would desire to establish
| bank at Little Rock.
ut will be to some extent matter OF Ia
voritism as TO who gets the banks In the
several localities and twill be In my power
| to cast an anchor to the windward i'll y'r
behalf if you desire it. Please think over
the matter, and confer with Mr.. Caldwell;
and let me know y'r desires as soon as you
reach any conclusion. There Is, or course
no special hurry; but l thought l would
suggest the matter in order that YOU might
mature your thoughts in good tune. Yours

FORTY FIRST CONGRESS-, U. S.-HoUsE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,. WASHINGTON, ID
C., DEC TIN IS70.--AiY DEAR A4s FISHER:
You have reed Mr.. BoutweIPs answer.
presume you will deem it necessary to come
on here; if SO, let me know of it day or
two in advance,
Il have written Mr.. Caldwell about the
bank; 10 trouble in securing blk of $780,
900.
'tSecy of War will not allow the use Of
the arsenal at Little Rock-says ii is inn
possible. Very hastily and truly 49,.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE WASH
INGToN, ID. c., DECEMBER ORR ls10.-MY
DEAR MR. FISHER: wrote very hastily,
both to yourself and Mr.. Caldwell, in re-
gard to the bank. A further conference
with the Comptroller of the Currency gives
some additional facts which are OF Interest,
and this letter is intended alike for your
self and Mr.. Caldwell. Please show 1t to
him. They are now allowing 80 per II
circulation on 1910 bonds, instead OF 50, and
then IS at different periods in the past,
They give me the assurance that you shall
have full $3.50 900 circulation on bank of
half q million capital.
IF you desire l will confer with Senator
Rice in regard to the forms, etc. 1t might
be better now to let him take the lead.
Yours very truly, -. G. BLAINE.

DEAR Mr.. FISHER: am in hopes nowtha |
l snail secure W, 600, or nearly that. find |
money very tight.
Il have seen most Of the parties to whom |
bonds are due. | do not have much trouble /
about the January coupon of the first mort /
gage bonds, but they of course growl some /
--on six of the bonds. | would be glad TO |
have the coupon. promised them tndt- |
vtdttdtty to make 1t right in the future. /
did not In any way use the name of the
company, nor commit you to anything
only myself
ION the land bonds / cannot make them
see the equity of removing the Anril cou-
pom, and promised to try and adjust that
matter-with you after my return to Boston |
ihey all agree with one voice that 10 bond
shall be exposed for sale. l wish you could
give me the benefit of that fraction making
% OF the first mortgage bonds for the S31-
go due. use the extra $500 in adjusting
the Interest matter and it hts in complete
Iy; Will make 1t all right with you.
PLEASE meet me at Mr.. Caldwelis private
office ON Saturday at 1918 sharp. 1t is very
important that have everything completed

have this moment written to Mr.. Caldwell, |
suggesting that, in case | can arrange a |
meeting In this city next week with Colonel |
Ih0mas A. Scott, 10 come on here. | have :
'ome reason for believing that very adj
analogous arrangement may be made for
,aking say $500 000 Let me have an aecur- !
lte ana reliable statement of your financial ,,
and can do something | feel
'ery sanguine, with Thomas A. Scott. !
thlnk you Will not deem me unreason- =

ND that ought also to have the $50 600 Y
'onds, which were made by yourself aud

stronger or more equitable and legal claim

emely hard and unjust that 1 should be | 10
'mpelied to pay this money. It was no "a
