fortunate enough to run across you.
am in very painful and embarrassed
situation, growing out of my connection
with the Fort Smith enterprise.

suit to me is the most painful perplexity.
pressive is the $4,000 which 7 paid to
Mr.. Pratt for you Jan'y I'd, which Dor.
rowed here on my own faith and credit
on the distinct understanding with YOU
that it was to be repai, and that l vas
also to receive certain proportion of
the bonds. have reed only part of
the bonds-the larger part-and not q
dollar Of the money. And now, in ad.
dition to all other troubles, / have 80.
600 of coupons, little over that amount.
which am held to take care of partly
through verbal understanding and partly
through written agreement-coupons due
In April on land bonds snd to fall due in
July on 1st mortgage bonds. Now, ]
have . proposition 10 make to you. which
l ;as2k Is most liberal and fair, going as
far as possibly can &c without running
:Hysaif past all recovery. If you will
look Mt copy of our agreement in your
hands, you will find there is still due to
me 1000 Of land bonds and $32, 900 of
lst mortgage.
In order TO square myself with my
friends, need aud must have $50, 900
land bonds, and $4,000 lst mortgage
$4,000 in all-still leaving $57 900 of
mine in your hands.
Now, If you will take up these $40 coo
of coupons, paying me the cash therefor,
and give me the $45, 600 Of bonds / will
let all the remainder Of our matters stand
until you are perfectly at ease aud ready
to open correspondence on the subject
yourself. In other words, will leave
the matter in your hands until the Fort
Smith enterprise is out Of the woods and
its tangled affairs we'll emoothed ont.
trust in consideration of our many
years Of friendship, as we'll as in view Of
the peculiar relations I have held In this
matter, you will make an effort to do
this.
Pray let me hear from you at your
earliest leisure, and greatly oblige yours,
truly,
j. G. BLAINE.

My DEAR BLAINE: 1t 10 the greatest
importance that the parties owning the
interest in the $25. 900, and invested by
them in the Northern Pacific Railroad,
should receive what ia due them, and
unless something l. done about Ii +! shall
be forced TO turn the document over to
them, and lot you settle directly with
them. am constantly reminded about
it, and they all say, Why don't Blaine
deliver to you our INTEREST," hlr. Cald.
we'll tells me he has paid you his last
note due you, and gave you the $50, 900
land bonds in addition. I should Judge
it was for yolr interest to settle the mat. /
ter mt once and have nc further delay.
You u.nst :,e your own judge III the mat.
ter, but my advice is to settle it at once.
! remain, WARREN FISHER, JR.
