My DEAR SIR

Ny DEAR SIR
In reply to questions asked leg leave
to say:
The all important, immediate busi-
ness which Mr.. Kenney agreed to do
was to settle with the Surety Company.
lie has matters in hand amounting to
more than the amount Of the loss sus-
tained by the company in the matter of
my bond. While these ulatters may not
be realized on in day, they were pro-
nounced good by Mr. kenney when they
were given. He agreed to assume this
task, which SO urgently imposed upon
him the day left, even if he had to bor-
row the money en- his individual ac-
count.
| Now when read your clippings am
convinced that nothing has been done.
! The matters which he had were r. S.
Clark's bond for $4,000; II. F. Ford's
bond for $3.50; and bond uf T. $. Clark
and c. II. Butler for $2G5. The "Ander-
SOM building operation was transferred
to him; a judgement against E. Wesley
johnson and wife No. 1888 jackson
street, Philadelphia, Pa, for about 1888
and Judgement against J. Ford Caulk,
Chestertown, Nd, for $50 and some
other papers were also made out in his
name, one Of which was J. X. McGoni-
gals bond for $500.
My recollection is tIat the "Cole"
bond was in my name. Those Rosen-
thai receipts amounting to $1,000 are just
as much a debt of Harry Goodman, a
prominent clothing merchant at Second
and Market streets, Philadelphia Pa. L
also left the vouchers held against John
+. Salisbury (S1.1OO).
| John d. Hawkins draft for 5000 is
about due me; he must pay it. There are
lots of other things in the sorry mess that
| could refer to but what good can / do
where | am.
The only real good can do would be
to come back and explain the whole
sparing no one.
1t may be that kenncy is SO badly
scared that he is compelled to apparent
ly turn his hack on me to save himself,
but, of course, am not in a position to
Judge and time will tell what his game
il.
! sent him one letter and received his
reply.
In the letter addressed to kenney |
outlined plan | then had in mind.
That plan is all up now. 1t would have
been foolish to have tried that plan un-
less had absolute assurance that |
would be left alone long enough to carry
it out successfully. | asked Kenny to
submit my proposition to the bank
! people but ! expect that matters were
so hot and the bank people SO mad that
. it would have been very unwlse Tor any
one to attempt to approach them with
any such proposition. They would have
considered it adding insult to injury.
They could not afford to officially assent
to any such evasion Of the law. | had
hoped that they would consider it
quietly or rather negatively consent to
it. Again am convinced that kenney
would have done me more harm than
good in any efforts he might honestly
! ~ have made in thar direction, for the
reason that naturally lie is despised by
several members of the Board, They
have no confidence whatever in him,
but what is the most vital ob)ection-l
have no doubt he now is charged with
being conspiratur, and Therefore they
would spurn with contempt any propo-
sition made by him even, assuming that
he had the manhood (?) to do it.
He owed me $27 on a runniry account
we had and | signed three notes in
blank at his request for him to use as a
blind III case any securities which he
held we,e ever questioned or became
public. These notes were signed in the
presence Of Cooper, who understood the
whole thing, for especially explained
it to him while kcnncy was there. Is
it possible that kenney is using these
notes against me?
fear that Cooper is in a t light place.
The especial thing wouId like TO know
from Mr.. Cole IS about the houses at
Bcllmore and Amber streets. of which,
he knew more than any one else.
This fully covers the points you raise,
| believe. and trust that it will help
you.
Yours truly.
W. n. BOpis.
