The Project of Grants Coming TO Cali
fornia TO Live.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 19th.-The improv-
ment in Grants condition has led to Ievi-
val of the project that he should come to
California to live. The CdH will publish
tomorrow the following statement from
the gentleman who first proposed the plan.
and who has been prominently identified
with it: 1--WE believe the General will get
well, and we propose to act in the matter
as though that were an assured fact. |
have written TO Mrs Grant, and also tele-
graphed her, renewing the invitation to
the General 10 come TO California with his
family and make his home here. The
General would like TO come here, and | am
sure he would accept our offer if his health
permitted. We have ample means to carry
out the plan; indeed, more money was
offered for that purpose than was needed,
and since glimmering of hope of recovery
has been given to the public, the business
men who agleed to advance the means to
buy the property have come to me
and insisted upon urging the plan
again upon the General 5 attention. Three
or four of the finest places in California are
offered to the old soldier, and he can take
his choice We will put competent
manager ON the place which will insure
the complete success OF the plan, and in a
few years the place can be paid for, the
men who advanced the money will have
their capital returned, and the General will
have one of the finest estates i'll America.
1t is much more agreeable TO the General to
have the plan assume this form than that
Of an outright gift. 1t is very doubtful
whether he would accept the estate as a
pure donation, but he would take it with
the understanding that its profits should go
to pay for it. The places we have in mind
would pay for themselves in few Years. |
am very hopeful that Grant will yet be &
citizen of California
