think is most liberal and fair, going as
far as possibly can go without run
ming myself past all recovery. IfyOu
will look at copv ofo agreement in
your hands, you will find there is still
due to me $4,000 of Liant Bonds and
$32 900 of 1st Mortgage.
In order to square myself with my
friends, need and must have $50, 900
Land Bonds, and $1,000 1st Mortagage.
$45, 900 in all,-still leaving $57 200 of
mine in your hands.
Now, if yon will take UP these S1O,-
600 of Coupons, paying me the Cash
therefor, and give INC the 900 of
Bonds, will let all the remainder of
our matters stand until you are perfect
ly at case and ready to open cores
pondencc on the subject yourself. In
other words, will leave the matter in
your hands until the Fort Smith enter
prise is out of the woods, and its
tangled affairs we'll smoothcd out.
] trust in consideration of our many
years of friendship, as well as i'll view
of the peculiar relations have held i'll
this matter, you will make al effort to
do this.
Pray let me hear from you at your
earliest leisure, and greatly obligc,
Yours truly,

SOME ADVICE TO BLAINE.
BOSTON, Sept. 80, 1871.
My DEAR BLAINE-Itis of 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 is due them; and
unless something is done about it, l
shall be forced to turn the document
over to them, and let you settle direct
ly with them. | am constantly remind
ed about it, and they all say: Why
don't Blaine deliver to you our inter-
est? Mr.. Caldwell tells me lie has paid
you his last note due you, and gave
you the $4,000 Land Bouds in addi-
ton. l 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
nv advice is to settle it at once. l
remain, WARREN FISHER, JR.
