light of this world. Even now I have still unpleasantness 



to suffer for it. Colonel Abert, and as it seens, Emory show pe- 



tulant jealousy about my publication. The one made it known, that 



the reports of the engineers 

 I perused fcta*xxxa^»xi*Jwithout giving tham credit . I wrote him a 



note yesterday an^ asked for facts about such perusal. With excep- 

 tion of the longitude and latitude of Santa Fe I actually have not 

 used the mlnutest item of theirs, and did give credit for it to 

 Emory. I visited Emory several times, but, as he does not live in

 only anicious about Webster and Benton. Next Monday Fremont f s de- 

 cision will become public<i and thereby the matter will be closed 

 hopefully; I hardly expect that he will be exhonerated. P.W. Bul- 

 lion Sauer and Haun (the names are not legible I E.D. ) and 



I are afraid, that there will be serious repercussions. I have made 

 many aquaintances here and make many Visits. I recently had a meal 

 at the arabassador of Prussia, Mr. Gerolt (/); he is an educated man, 

 was 12 years in Mexico and likes to talk about it, whereas I am
