presence. But have you ever explained it to Mr. Stanton? If not, you had better come here and see him on the subject, or else write him full and send the letter to my care for presentation. Lane may be just "blowing" - but he may attempt to execute his threat. And his threat will justify you in asking a hearing of the Secretary on the subject.

                                    I would not vex you with telling this, did it not seem to me probable that

you may be entrapped hereafter when down there; when an explanation made now might prevent the mischief.

                                    Please say to Mr. Jones that I can probably get of the street railroad company

about $500 - and that in my judgment he had better authorize me to settle for that, if I can do no better, rather than take the hazard of a lawsuit against a corporation which is very influential here, and in a case which will be difficult to make out in evidence.

                                                        Very respectfully and truly yours,
                                                         Thomas Ewing -
                                                          for Browning & Ewing
