WASHINGTON, y. g., April 81, 1871,
My DEAR MRSCALDwELL.- On the Goth |
Inst, tho second note OF tho loan no.
gotlated In December laet fnlla due.
The 0ret OF S2,082 so. 100, which fell due |
March lst--ith was compelled 90 meet |
at tho grayest possible Inconvenience to |
myself. drew on Mr. Fisher for the
amount but no declined 10 notice the |
draft. The note which falls duo on the
goth inst. Ia for S2b7S 3'bl00, II seems
extremely hard aud unjus thgt | should
be compelled TO pay thla moUey. II IN
no more my debt than tho debt OF pres.
dent Grant or Queen Victoria, and can.
not believe that you and Mr.. Fisher,
both or either, intend To leave this bur.
den on mo.
II you do, II will crush mo- have no
possible means wherewith TO meet these
notes, and ! beg Of you and MIR. Fisher,
either or both, TO come TO my relief. In
Il letter from Mr.. Fisher under date OF
January gath no writes mo ~ follows..
I'm regard TO the $4,000 which You
borrowed and loaned to Mr., Caldwell OF
rather Mr.. Pratt. because you received
from him $4,000 Land bonds for tho
amount. Upon my visiting the Office for
the first time after you left the city, Mr..
Pratt said ho and Mr.. Harrington gave
TO You their individual bonds, and they
kept tho money; and In order TO obtain
the money and got " out OF Mr.. Pratt's
hands, obtained $4,000 Land bonds,
and took what | supposed to be money,
but II was not thore, Part OF II had
been misapplied 10 other matters, $15,.
900 OF II | loaned TO Mr.. Caldwell, the
balance went into house nt Little
Rock without my knowledge or consent.
and Pullman cars, &c."
Now, my dear sir, II this be n correct
statement may not hops You will re.
lieve me TO the extent OF Tho $4,000,
aud Mr., Fisher will surely pay tho other
$4,000.
Asa wholly innocent third party do.
ing my beat TO act as q sincere and
eteadfast friend TO both OF you, ought
not 10 be left exposed 10 financial ruin
and personal humiliation.
Please read this to Mr.. Flaher.
have advised Of my writing you.
Sincerely yours,
j. q, BLAINR,
