GREAT INCONVENIENCE.


WASHINGTON, d. c., April 81, 15T1.-My Dear
Mr. Caldwell-On the 29th inst. the second note
Of the loan negotiated on December last falls
due, the first for g. 032 so, which fell due March
IA, l was compelled to meet at the greatest in
convenience to myself. l drew on Mr.. Fisher
for the amount but he declined to notice the
draft. The note which falls due the
29th inst. is for S2,57S.35. 1t seems extremely
hard and unjust that should be compelled to pay
this money. 1t is no my debt than the
dept Of President Grant or Queen Victoria and
cannot believe you and Mr.. Fisher, both or
either, intend to leave this burden on me. II you
do it will crush me. l have no possible means
wherewith to meet these notes and beg of you
and Mr.. Fisher, either or both, to come to my
relief. In letter from Mr.. Fisher under date
of January "a, he writes me as follows: sin re-
gard to the S25, ,0e0 which you borrowed and
loaned to Mr. Coldwel, or rather Mr..
Pratt, as it was assumed by Mr.. Pratt
because you received from him S50,000
in land bonds for the amount, upon
my visiting the Office for the first time after you
left the city, Mr.. Pratt said he and Mr.. Earring
ton gave to you their individual bonds and they
kept the money, and in order to obtain the money
and get out OF Mr.. Pratts bond L obtained $780,,
600 in land bonds, and took what supposed to
be money. but it was not there. Part of it had
been misapplied to other matters. Fifteen
thousand dollars Of ii I loaned Mr.. CGIdaOeH.
The balance of it went into house at Little
Rock without my knowledge consent, and
Pullman cars, etc., etc. Now, my dear sir, if
this be a correct statement, may l not hope you
will relieve me to the extent of the $4,000 and Mr.
Fisher will surely pay the other SIC, 900 as wholly
innocent party, doing my best to act as sincere
and steadfast friend to both of you. 1 ought
not be left exposed to financial ruin and personal
humiliation. Please read this to Mr. Fisher. 1
have advised him of my writing to you. Sin
cerely yours, j. G. BLAINE.

A MOST LIBERAL PROPOSITION.

AUGUSTA, July 2, 1863. My Dear Mr.. Fisher:
You ask me if l am satisfied with the offer you
make me with a share in your new railroad en-
terprise. OF course 1 am more than satisfied
with the terms of the offer. think it most
liberal proposition. If hesitate at all it is for
considerations in no way connected with the
offer. Your liberal mode of dealing with me in
all our business transactions of the past eight
years has not passed without very full apprecia-
ton. What wrote to you on the 29th was in
tended to bring Caldwell to definite PROPOSE
tion. That was ALL 1 go to Boston by the same
train that carries this letter. and will call at your
Office tomorrow at 12 N. II you don't happen
to be in matter. Don't put yourself to any
trouble about it. Yours, j. G. B.

AUGUSTA, Me-, June IA, 1871-MY DEAR Mr..

fore (Monday and Tuesday, to see you, but was
not fortunate enough to run across you. l am
in very painful and embarrassing situation
growing out Of my connection with the Fort
Smith enterprise have paid and caused to be
paid into your treasury about S15O,O00 and the
only result TO me is the most painful perplex-
ity. The most painful of all, the most oppres-
sive, is the S25,000 which 1 paid to Mr.. Pratt
for you Jan. 2, which borrowed here on my
own faith and credit, with the distinct under
standing with you that it was to be repaid, and
that was also to receive certain proper
ton Of bonds, 1 have received only q
part Of the bonds-the larger part-and not q
dollar Of the money, and now, in addition to all
other troubles, have $4,000 of coupons, little
over that amount which L am held to take care
of partly through verbal understanding and
partly through written agreement-coupons due
in April on the land bonds and to fall
due in July the first mort
gage bonds. Now, have q
proposition to make to you which I think is
most liberal and fair, going so far as possibly
can go without running myself past all recovery
II you will look at O copy Of our agreement in
your hands, you will find there is still due to
me $4,000 of land bonds and SSe 1000 Of first
mortgage. In order to square myself with my
friends 1 need and must have S3e, 900 in land
bonds and $4,000 in first mortgsge-S45, 900 in
all, still leaving s57, 900 of mine in your hands
Now, if You will take mp these $4,000 of cou-
pons, paying me the cash therefor and give me
the $4,000 of bonds, will let all the remainder
OF our matters stand until you are perfectly at
ease and ready to open correspondence on the
subject yourself. In other words, will leave
the subject in your hands until the Fort Smith
enterprise is out of the woods and the tangled
matters smoothed out. 1 trust in consideration
of our many years of friendship as we'll as in
view OF the peculiar relations we have held in
this matter you will make an effort to do this.
Pray let me hear from you at your earliest leis
ure and greatly oblige, yours truly,

BosToS, April 16, 1s72.-My Dear Blaine
Your favor of the 18th inst. reached me this
morning 1 am surprised at its contents. L have
loaned you at various times when you were COM
paratively poor, very large sums OF money, and
never have you paid me 81 from your own pocket,
either principal or interest have paid sundry
amounts to others to whom you were indebted,
and these debts you have allowed to stand unpaid
like the notes hold. have placed you in po-
sitions whereby you have received very lsrge
sums of money without one dollar OF expense to
you, and you ought not to forget the act on my
part. OF all the parties connected with the Little
Rock & Fort Smith railroad no one has been so
fortunate as yourself in obtaining money out of
it. You obtained subscriptions from your
friends in Maine for the building of The Little
Rock & Fort Smith railroad Out of these sub
scriptions you obtained large amount both of
bonds and money, free Of cost TO you. l have
your own figures and know. the amount
Owing to your political position you are
able to work of all your bonds at q very high
price, and the fact is well known to others as
well myself. Would your friends in Maine be
satisfied il they knew the factsf Are my asso-
ciates satisfied to have you obtain $3.50 from
the Northern Pacific railroad, and you not make
the investment as per agreements The course
you have thought proper to take in regard to
my reqeestis rather poor one, taking your rela
tions with me, and again ask you TO reconsider
AID grant it. You will find it much easier to
pay by obtaining the credit, and / selected that
course, thinking 1t to be the best. IL you again
decline, shall be obliged to use the notes or sell
them TO outside purchasers. Necessity knows
no law. Whatever bonds are still due to you will
be delivered as the road progresses. To the
other portions OF your letter 1 make no reply
You know the facts; it is sufficient that know
them, andit is useless to mention them, at this

Show the child, from the experience OF others,
that little OF no progress is made by spas
