The Life of Fred Archer 151 
People say that the late Duke of Westminster said to a 
would-be American purchaser, " There is not enough money 
in the great American Republic to buy Bend Or." 
The Duke wrote to Archer on October 27th, 1881 : " Since 
I wrote, both Peck and Porter advise putting Bend Or out of 
training — which will be a great disappointment to me, as I 
had looked forward to another year with him, but in this case 
please consider my last letter as unwritten."
