to me. If this 1s not the case, I shall be reduced in 4 - 5 

 weeks so far that I cannot pay for my boarding nor further trans- 

 portation. In this extreme case, I an forced to use your kind- 

 ness once more and ask you t the known note od $ 50, which an 

 old Prenchman made payable in 6 months, to liquidate. I offered 

 it before my departure to an aquaintance of the man, who by Chance 

 did not have the money, but Dr. Ca e, whom I 616 not offer it as 

 yet, will probably take it with a certain discount* The note 

 lies, if I am not mistaken, with other notes and bills in the 

 upper drawer of the comnode in the Office« If I should be mista- 

 ken herein, then it is in the large bookcase, which Stands at 

 Schneider, and will be with papers lying on top. I am only sure 

 that it has not been lost, but that I kept it in one -place or 

 another. Those $ 50 will only cover my returntrip fron here. 

 It would be most desirable if you could raise another $ 50, as 

 I may have to stay here perhaps several more weeks, besides the 

 various expenses for the extra copies, your small requests, 

 porto for mailings, and a few minor items, which I would like to 

 purchase for myself. However, I shall write once more about this.~ 

 Should my bill pass the House next week, then I believe to be 

 able to manage» 



I visited Lieut. Colonel ( not major) Emory a few days a^ter 

 the difficulties which occured, to get the matter straightened 

 out, and visited him in his home since« He seems to realize, that 

 he was too distrusting toward me, and, of course, I avoided to 

 talk about it further. Col. Abert however keeps entirely silent, 

 but he seems to contradict himself entirely, as he is incapable 

 to prove that my note was not intended as a personal demonstra- 

 tion against the old. grey-headed fox, but rather a remonstration 

 against undeserved accusations, and thus, I let it go at that.
