est has been manifested regarding the con-
tents of the letter written by G. P. Hunt
ington to Senator Stanford, and which is
said to have resulted in reconciliation be.
tween them. So many and various have
been the reports regarding the nature of its
contents, that it was thought advisable to
make public the letter in its entirety. It
was written on the 18th inst, and is as fol-
lows:
Dear Gorenor So many items mentioning
your name and mine have lately appeared in
the daily papers that some of my friends think
it would be well for me to write you letter
hence this communication. Although do not
apprehend any danger that YOU and l will be
put in hostile attitude in our business, or, for
that matter, personal relations, but the inter-
yentlon OF others, who not altogether under
stand stand our difference, may tend to separate
friends Our views, when at variance. have
been freely expressed, and it is needless to al
lude to them further than to say that we have
each OF US agreed to disagree.
Remarks that recently made at the Southern
Pacific Board meeting were intended only as
reasonable expression of my views on these
subjects. My words, and especially the phrase
which relates to campaign uses of the COM
pany's funds-or, as l expressed it, putting
hands into the treasury of the company to de-
feat the peoples choice"-have been con-
strued in some quarters as per-
sonal attack upon you. Allow me to
say that l greatly regret this i'm
preston, since l did not intend to make such
an attack or to charge that you had used the
company money to advance your personal in.
terests, or for any improper manner; and am
satisfied that you have not done SO. Allow me,
also. to express the wish that our relations may
continue as friendly hereafter as they have
