1869, are in continuation of the two
letters of Oct. 2, 1869, which have
been already published.
AU5UsTA, Me, Nov. Is, 1869
My Dear Mr.. Fisher 1t is quite evident
to my mind that at the approaching session
of Congress there will be an expansion of
the currency to the amount of fifty to seven
ty-fve millions of dollars. The form it will
take, think, will be an addition to the
National Bank circulation West and South.
Ny object in writing is to ask i'll season if
your friends weuld desire to establish Bank
at Little Rock? twill be to some extent
Il matter of favoritism as to who gets the
banks in the several localities, and it. will
be in my power to "cast an Anchor to the
Windward," in your behalfif you desire it,
Please think over the matter, and confer
with Mr.. Caldwell and let me know your
desires as soon as you reach any conclusion
There is of course, no special hurry; hut
thought l would suggest the matter in order
that you might mature your thoughts in
good time.
1t would be well to determine the amount
to which you might wish to 60 [ suppose
it might be practicable to secure $780,
900 bank but in that locality you would
hardly wish to go SO deep. But they arc
very profitable institutions-say $3.50, 600
Yours very truly, J. G. BLAINE
